This stepper is amazing. I workout regularly however this thing gives me a WORKOUT and quick! After just one week of regular stepping (about 15 mins a day), I received 3 out of the blue compliments on how my legs looked toned and fit. They asked what I was doing, my response - mini stepper! I’ve worked out regularly for years and nothing… however first week I get this thing and people already take notice. I love the workout it gives, how easy it is to use, portability, and how convenient it is to store. I love this thing so much I am going to buy another The value for what you get is amazing, and I definitely recommend getting one!
