Work out while you watch TV with this top-rated stepper — it's $40 (55% off)
At its all-time lowest price, this compact gadget can help you work up a sweat even if you don't have a ton of space.
Now that we're knee-deep in the holidays, you might be thinking about ways to counteract all the cookies and egg nog. There are a lot of ways to do that, but most revolve around going to the gym — something that's hard to do with a busy schedule. We've got a tool to put your cold-weather TV time to better use: the Sunny Total Body Smart 2-in-1 Stepper Machine. It's a compact fitness gadget that gives you a full-body workout, and right now, it's on sale for just $40, down from $88.
Get a full-body workout that targets all the major muscle groups. The stabilizer ring helps keep you secure while you're stepping through your routine.
Why is this a good deal?💰
It's tough to find workout equipment at an affordable price, but this gadget is only $40 — over 50% off — and includes access to the SunnyFit app, which delivers free on-demand workouts to your phone. Considering how much you get, it's hard to argue with the price.
Why do I need this? 🤔
It can take a variety of different machines to get a proper workout, but this two-in-one stepper helps you get a full-body workout with only one. Work your core, glutes, arms, shoulders and more using nothing more than your body weight and some resistance bands. If you have limited space (or a limited budget), this is a no-brainer.
The onboard LCD screen makes it easy to track your steps, workout duration and calories burned. It's also relatively quiet, so you won't wake up everyone in your house (or apartment building — looking at you, Bowflex). The intensity of the steps can be adjusted too, so different users can tailor their workout to their needs.
One standout feature is the ability to adjust the height of the machine, so you can swap between short steps for a high-intensity workout and longer strides for a steadier, lower-paced workout.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 2,500 five-star fans are already getting fit with this doodad.
Pros 👍
"I love mine, I use it several times a week. It's super easy to put a movie or show on and squeeze in a workout. It's small enough that it fits under a bed or in a closet, which is fantastic," raved one fan. "Now for the workout itself — I use the highest setting and try to go for 30 minutes. Usually, by the end of it, I've worked up a sweat, it's a solid workout. I've noticed my thighs have firmed up and look more toned overall."
Another fan said, "I've lost 20 pounds in two months with no other equipment but the stepper. Great product!"
"I love it," gushed a third shopper. "It goes perfectly with my adjustable desk. I'm able to work and get my steps in. It boosts my mood. I use it in 20-minute increments, then rest, then do it again. It's a great portable workout."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers say a few adjustments could make this little stepper even better.
A user wrote, "Only real downside is that the step range of motion can't be extended any further, but that's to be expected with such a compact device that costs under $100. It can get squeaky after a bit of use but it doesn't affect the workout, so no real issue there."
"The resistance bands are a great idea, but I wish they were more adjustable since the lightest setting is almost impossible to use for certain upper body exercises," said a final buyer.
No space? No problem. This machine is compact enough to fit in even small apartments.
