I have a sunny mini stepper and it works great for me! I transition between my mini stepper and walking pad. I use both at my desk… may not work for everyone but it’s been working out great for me… down 35 lbs so far!🎉

Its the best thing that worked for a mom ,who doesn't wanna go out to gym or run on trails ..I do while watching tv...😊 and its helpful

It's worth noting that the mini stepper counts sets of steps. So when you take one step with each foot, that's on the counter goes up to one.

Thanks for info..I like the idea of something small like this to have in by bedroom and just take out while watching Netflix or a movie instead of just lounging in bed.

Glad I found your video. I saw one on marketplace for $25 and thought about getting it. I already have one Sunny machine, which is a quality machine, but is hardly used. Seeing your video, steps are my goal and 5 mile walks were the key to my weight loss. The more you walk, the more you enjoy it (80's music playing to keep a consistent speed) and the less time it takes to get the walk in. So, the stepper looks like a great quality machine and it would probably be a good "stepping" stone for someone just starting to exercise. I too have thought about a treadmill for under my desk, and there's one on FB advertised that looks good for under $200 - but, for now, I'll stick to my early morning walk. Thanks for the good review!

I love love this review right on point with every subject. Most of my questions got answered thru this video.I just got mines out of the box can't wait to see the results I'm 270 now so positive vibes everyone 👏🏼🥰👌

We live in Scotland, United Kingdom. I bought one of those to walk indoor. Autumn is round the corner and it is raining most days. In a few months, there will be snow and ice. My daughter loves it too.

The directions warn you about the pistons heating up to a point where they can be damaged. I think it says 15 minutes, but I use mine for a half hour with no issues. Sunny has a KZfaq channel with a bunch of mini stepper exercise routines that are very helpful. I really like mine!

Recommendation to use for 15 minutes allow resting periods of 30 minutes in between use. (to avoid overheating)

I have a similar style product called the x-iser. Trying to get a lot of steps on it is the definition of boredom! If I may make a suggestion, I find a much better use of it is to do a HIIT style workout where you do short bursts of "sprinting". The key is to squat down just a bit and then peddle while keeping your head level. Great glute work!

Thank you for this review. My stepper just arrived this morning. I am excited to use it to help strengthen my legs.

Thank you for ur videos!! so honest & much needed. Keep it up!

I use these for zone 2 cardio where your body pulls energy from fat stores rather than glycogen stores and they work perfect. Just turn on the tv if you get bored. Nice review!

I use mine while watching TV. Time goes by without thinking about it

I just got mine and it works well for my 68 years old body. I do other excessive in conjunction to the stepper. SUNNY has many exercises in their channel and they're pretty extensive. I also do laps at my gym so don't rely 100% on the stepper. It works well for me.

I plan on using my on the front and back decks, or while watching Netfix during the winter. Can't always get out and it's just an extra way to shake your booty rather than sitting on your booty. I can't sit still. I had purchases one from Amazon but you can't adjust the pressure of the pedals and I weigh 100 lbs 😢 so thank you for pointing me in the right direction. You sold me with the adjustment thing a ma jig! Have a happy! Lydia

thank you for the best review pros and cons , and now i choose get one 😁

Thanks for pros and cons, yes I will get one 👌

Thanks for this video. I just unboxed mine .

I have it....bought it along with the rower as a part of my new years resolutions....it does get boring tho but just think about the end goal

Some people like myself are just really not a fan of the gym. Don't get me wrong I still go, but only because I live in a small apartment for now. These are nice for at least having something to raise my heart rate and move a bit until I can expand a bit for a home gym. Living on the third floor of an apartment with no lift and I'll be moving soon, so no heavy treadmills or ellipticals for me.

I find this review helpful. I live in Atlantic Canada where working out outdoors is not an option during at least 8 months out of the year, and I absolutely don’t have room for a treadmill. I do realize this tiny stepper is not perfect, but if someone finds it even slightly useful in California, it will definitely help in my circumstances.

I have a sunny mini stepper and it works good for me! I It raise my bpm pass 109 which is for my age of 64 .I also alternate this with my rebounding and treadmill on alternate days.I usually do mini stepper this at night when looking at TV.Better than laying on couch like I used to.

This was super helpful thank you

Interesting. Thanks!

Micro workouts are all the rage ,i love this little machine ,i find ordinary walking boring as this good man described. .

Good review - I have MS and I find walking pads difficult for getting those extra steps. Looking closer at a stepper. thank you

You were going kind of slow. Not sure if you were at a higher resistance level, but if you are going faster and get into a rhythm that makes the steps go faster. :)

Loved this video and LOVE your sense of humor! I am living to know, did you put the stepper equipment in your closet?!

I'm thinking of buying one and searched for reviews, which is how I came across this video. I noticed you posted a year ago. I wanted to ask some questions. How has the equipment held up, how often do you use it and do you still feel like it's a great workout? It looks fun and low impact, which is what caught my attention. Thanks for sharing!

the counter on mine counts left step/right step as a step. So multiply that 2k+ x2. So it could be about 4k steps for 40 min. that’s what mine does, maybe that’s what yours does too?

Thank you great video.

Do you have any reviews for any under desk bike pedals? I teach K and that "sounds" good for when I'm grading or even doing small groups.

I ordered one but I have a plan on how to use it. If you have stairs you can climb up and down instead, or you can go up and down 3 steps. I wouldn't use this for cardio, you can probably do cardio in place without this. I plan to use it more with full motion including flexing ankles and toes, if you don't flex your ankles then you're just using your knees which is not optimal. I'll probably step on it with my heels hanging off, maybe with bare feet. If you use this as in the videos I expect it wouldn't be as good as walking that's why I'm going to use it differently, that's my expectations. It's supposed to arrive later today.

I've tried a few steppers but the resitance is quite low. Are there steppers out there with good resistance - adjustable resitance even. I'd likie to feel like I have to really push down to creaste the next step if you know what I mean - thankyou - loving your reviews

Hello there, nice video. So you really need so much time with the stepper? I have a walking pad but it is making a lot of noise and I am thinking to buy a mini stepper.. But as you said, I need now 1.5hour for 10.000 steps, if i need 3.5hours thats not gonna work..

I’d love to see a review. Just bought this for the days I can’t make it to the gym.

Yeah....see. we introverts don't wanna be outside 😂 this machine is perfect 👌🏾

Do you still use it currently.. and if so hows the condition of it now i bought a different stepper that was a little cheaper.. but just completely broke on me and was just very very loud to the point where even headphones would not block the noise im very skeptical about getting another one but this one seems like its decent quality.. and i dont mind a little noise.. i just dont want it to break..

Thanks😊

Can someone help, which one is better Sunny Twist Stepper or Mini stepper (original, the one used in this video)?

Thank you please do a follow up

i am having the same issue. WFH, I'm barely walking and feeling the effects. At my previous job I would hit at least 5k steps by lunch.

Curious to know if you ended up getting the treadmill for your desk at a later point...

I wonder if this helps for "walking backward" benefits

Sunny seems to make good quality products. Mini-steppers in general seem like they have too small of a range of motion to burn many calories and are better just for toning your calves. If stuck indoors, I'd rather walk on a treadmill to burn calories. I actually bought a Men's Health brand mini-stepper from a discount store for 70 bucks and didn't expect much. It's a little bigger than the Sunny model and it's designed so the platforms stay parallel to the floor and raise up to around 10 inches. So you're really raising your knees high while working your quads/glutes more than the lower leg. 15 minutes on it feels like "real" challenging exercise though and would be too distracting to do while working.

how do you adjust the resistance? I just got mine today and it's very heavy to step on it.

Whats better an aerobics stepper with riser blocks or a stepper like this?

How are you still liking the stepper after a month?

So did u do a six month follow up video ❤ enjoyed this video, l have the same one 😂

I watched that video as well. 😊

Sooooo how’s it going so far with this equipment? I just bought one! Will be getting an under desk treadmill once winter comes around this year but …. I have a stationary bike and now this to add to my home gym

Can adding ankle weights to it help with glutes ?

The little slippers are yours or did it come with it?

Good review! I'm waiting for mine to be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully it's something I connect with for a good home workout. Did you end up getting the treadmill after all?

Will your calf muscles get big when using this?

When I loose the knob for a faster step it just tightens back up. Any suggestions?

Please do a follow up just got one my self

Thanks for this! Are you still using the stepper now?

Can this actually help with the glutes? I just got mine today. My thighs were on fire.

Just unbox mine and tried it out. How do i get the steps to elevate for and intense burn?

They say to only be on it for 15 minutes a day or it can damage the machine that’s why it was hot when you touched it

How do you work the meter... Clear it

This is great for really obese or old people because running on a threadmill is too high impact for their feet. The problem is if they have bad balance.

I bought a mini stepper it arrived today, I’m very disappointed because it’s very hard to use and there’s no dial to change the resistance. I wasted over €100.. I have to buy another one that has different resistance levels.

this helps with weight loss right im 215 rn .

Nice content just ordered mine from jumuia since most of the time trapped indoors trading forex....

I have a mini stepper and I have great results

So, is the limit REALLY only 15 minutes?

Is the tension adjustable?

Nice

Can you adjust the height in it?

Why don't u do a 4 month review??

How is it going with this machine? Do you love it?

You can add more bands onto this. I don't like the ones they come with.

Is this a commercial?

Demonstration would have been nice

Pls do a follow up review :)

Step count is not as important as what you do with those steps, quality is better than quantity! Getting your heart rate up as way more important than doing 10k steps.

Hello! Is your stepper still going?

Update?

Buy 2 mini steppers go 15 minutes on each maybe take a 15 minute break then go over to the first again. Why would yo do this? Because it’s SUPER Cheap even if you buy two (or even 3). So adapt.

I've never seen someone step so slow on the stepper. You really purchased this against you will

10k steps a day is good. It's more intense workout than walking as uoure lifting your feet constantly.

So you live in California and are iffy about a 200 dollar treadmill. ..right

The reason it will take you a long time to make a lot of steps is you’re stepping TOOOOOOOO SLOW😉

Pls do a 6 month review

Here's a rephrased version of your text: I believe this isn't intended for counting your 10k steps. In my opinion, and I could be wrong, it might be burning more calories per step than normal walking outside. What do you think?

Please get yourself a better microphone.

I feel silly having to tell you this, but you are stepping too slow. Try lessening the resistance and step faster. You can almost run on these. Look at other videos. But you are going way too slow to get a lot of steps.

Go faster

Looks like a completely useless device. Seated calf raises are free.
