Stamina Electronic Mini Stepper – Guarantee to Burn Away Calories

I have tried many advertised exercise equipments that promise you the world. They guarantee you will loose weight in two to three weeks which always turns out not to be the case. The machines don’t do the job it is supposed to and they fall apart after a few years. But Stamina electronic mini-stepper is different. It gets the job done. Features sturdy steel construction and shock resistant design. The display monitors your time and counts your steps as you workout. I use it approximately for 30-40 minutes and burn 200 calories. I have owned The Stamina electronic mini stepper for two weeks and I am happy with it. There are pros and cons to the stepper.

The pros are the stepper gives a good workout. Twenty minutes session on this with moderate to fast pace will give you an intense, sweaty, workout as it burns away the calories. It has easy to hard settings. The lack of a tension adjustment in this type of machine should not be a problem with most people. The tension feels strong, at first but after a few minutes the hydraulic dampers move in and out easy as the fluid begins to heat up. I recommend changing the steps-per-min to change the level so you can get a good workout. The machine provides easy to read instructions and is easy to assemble. I ordered it from Amazon.com and it took a week to arrive. It is small and compact and easy to store away. Like, most people I have a desk job so I bring my Stamina mini stepper to work if I want a quick lunchtime in office workout when it is too hot or too cold to sit outside.

The cons are you need something to support your hand positions for optimum workout, posture; I always use a chair with a high back during my workout. The machine gets creaky and slightly noisy, but tolerable. So, you may want to squirt some Wd-40 on the wheels and on the hydraulic levers to stop the squeaking or turn up your television as you work out. A slight odor of hydraulic fluid emanates from the machine during a rigorous workout. Those who may not like the odor may want to put a fan to blow at the stepper so it can blow the smell away. Another con is the electronic step/time counter does not turn off on mine. I have to remove the battery after every workout to save batteries on mine.

However, it is easy to use and shows results quick. I found that this mini stepper really does stimulate that need to exercise. This is great for a dorm or an apartment. It is cheaper than the other exercise machines that are advertised. Retail price $12.00. The machine gives a great lower body workout. It is definitely a product I would recommend to anyone who is looking to burn a lot of calories in a short period of time.
