Mini Stair Stepper

A Mini stair stepper has many qualities for toning your body. It is an ideal way to tone up your waist, calves, hips and thighs.  Some mini stair stepper machines have an adjustable tension pulley system that makes stepping action smoother for low impact exercise. The good ones are constructed of heavy gauge steel. Some include a built-in digital computer which calculates your total time and number of steps. No matter which mini stair stepper you choose, be sure it has non-skid feet so as to it from slipping. 

These steppers provide a great aerobic workout that works you lower body.  You get the same results as walking or running up and down stairs without the stress that a hard surface can put on your legs and knees.

There are 2 types of steppers.  These are the independant and dependant steppers. A dependant stepper is characterized by one step being pushed down results in the other step being pushed up.  Independant steppers are exactly what the name says.  When one step is pushed down it has no effect on the other step. The steps work independant of each other.

You should also look for a machine that has maximum stability.  The Machine shouldn't move or wobble while you are using it.  If the mini stair stepper slides or shifts while in use, it probably won't last long through your hard workouts.

Space is always a concern when purchasing workout equipment.  Mini stair steppers do not take up much room at all. They do not weigh much and are portable.  They store nicely in a closet.  Just don't put it in the closet and forget it is there.   

A good mini stair stepper will feature an adjustable  tension pulley system that makes stepping action smoother for low impact exercise.   The dual hydraulic cylinders on the mini steppers work independently, allowing you to reproduce the stair climbing effect.
