Niceday Steppers for Exercise, Mini Stair Stepper with Resistance Bands at Home Workout Equipment with 300LBS Loading Capacity, Hydraulic Fitness Stepper with LCD Monitor

Because of my current living and employment situations, I don't get moving as much as I used to. The gym that's most affordable to me is about 20min away and I wouldn't be able to go workout before work. I really can't workout late in the day because I'm not able to sleep if I do, so I would usually go to the gym in the morning. I've gained a lot of weight because of where I'm at in life right now and I find it difficult to even eat well because the people I'm staying with are junk food fiends. I bought this mini stepper after I received an email from Amazon showing deals on popular items. I didn't even know that mini steppers are a thing until I got that email.Anyway, I started using it for 15min a day (sometimes 2-3 times a day) in the morning before work. The instructions say not to use it for longer than 15min and not to use it outside, so I just put it on the kitchen floor and watch watch video while I'm at it. Over time, it did start squeaking, but I used some WD-40 and it stopped. I believe the instructions mention something about keeping it lubricated as well. One of the people I'm staying with sleeps in her recliner in the living room, which is right next to the kitchen, so when the stepper started making a bit of a clicking noise it made me very anxious that she would wake up and catch me (I'm not allowed to have many of my own belongings here and I'm not allowed to have shoes inside - so I don't want her to see me using it). It's pretty quiet (in my opinion), especially if you aren't paranoid about anyone hearing you use it. It's very compact and I store it in the other person's closet. It's a little heavier than I expected, but not too heavy to move back and forth each time I want to use it. It also came with resistance bands, but I still haven't used them. One small dislike that I have is that the pedals are a little too close together. It was a little bit of a balancing act for me in the beginning, but I would just use it next to the fridge to have something to hold onto. The pedal width may not be an issue for everyone, though. I just happen to have larger thighs at the moment, lol. There's a small display that counts your steps, calories burned (at least I THINK that's what that smaller number is) and when you press the button it tells you how long you were working out. As far as calories burned, I would take that with a grain of salt because you aren't able to put your stats in or anything. I had a really great 60-day streak of using this little thing and I did lose 12lbs during that time. I was eating my fair share of junk food, otherwise I may have seen better results. Unfortunately, I got sick and wasn't able to use my stepper for about 8-9 days. Once I was feeling better, I never got back into the daily habit of using it.I would definitely recommend this stepper to anyone who just wants one or more quick workouts throughout the day. I've recommended it to two friends, but I don't know if they've looked into it or not.I hope this long review was helpful for anyone hoping to find a way to get more exercise during the week :-)

I was amazed at the quality of this stepper, given its low price. I was expecting a bit of shoddiness and poor engineering and instead received a relatively state of the art little exerciser. It's easy to assemble, easy to adjust, easy to move around, and easy to use. It's one of those little things that you think, "Well, I'll buy it but it'll probably just sit and gather dust," until it arrives and you start using it.It has a fairly small footprint, which means you can store it out of the way in any corner, under the bed, or beside a chair. And it gives a really nice work out. The resistance levels are easy to adjust... and you can really feel the difference with the higher levels.If you're waffling on whether to buy this, just jump in. I believe you'll be glad you did.

The stepper itself is great. Very light weight and easy to use. The fact it has no assembly required was nice. Because of its size it’s easy to store or keep of to the side when not using and it’s not in the way. I use it while watching a tv show in the afternoon or in the morning so you get in a 30-60 minute workout without even noticing how much time has gone by. I like that it counts your steps properly as a set equaling one rather than each individual step. The only reason this get a 4 instead of a 5 is because the bands are not clips like in the picture displayed, they are not clips, they are twists and I cannot get them to turn so that I can attach them and use them. It’s a little frustrating that I’m going to have to get pliers or something to twist them and hopefully they don’t get damaged.

Came fully put together in the box (with the exception of the resistance bands that just snap onto the front).The design is very durable, weighs maybe 10-15 lbs. The “pedals” are very wide and long, quite comfortable (I’m a woman’s 10 and I had no problem wearing tennis shoes on this, with plenty of room left over).You can adjust the resistance for the stepper by a simple knob at the bottom of the machine. Just make sure the pedals are lifted all the way (something that caused me trouble before I figured it out), or the knob will get stuck halfway down the bolt.I’m definitely a beginner, and the highest resistance was still doable (though my legs were burning after a few minutes in). Definitely would recommend for someone who is used to gym-quality equipment.

It’s so easy to convince myself to workout with this. It’s not so laborious that I get stressed out and it’s simple enough that I don’t have to think about it while I’m doing it. I watch tv while doing it and push myself a little more each day. It’s been about three weeks and I see results. I use weights instead of the bands but they seem nice.Mine is starting to squeak a little though. It’s inconsistent but I don’t mind too much. I live in an apartment so squeaking is a lot better than thumping for my poor downstairs neighbor.I wasn’t working out before this. I found it so difficult to motivate myself to do it and hate things that are super complicated. If you’re anything like me, this is perfect.

I have been using this product for about a month now and wow like LITERALLY WOW, you can use it when u are watching a show, watching the kids play outside, easy to use and move around. Great value for money, the durability so far is great my husband and I both use it. Get for starting ur health journey you can use in winter inside or outside in summertime !

Just got it and I love it!!! Husband and I started using it as soon as it came out of the box! Came assembled, all you need to do is tighten the tension and add the resistance bands if you want and start using. Great value for what you get out of it! Don’t even think about it, just get it!
