Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Stepper – Key Features

Mini Stepper Description

This Mini Stepper from Sunny Health and Fitness is a middle of the road mini stepper that comes with an attractive price range that is difficult to ignore and it comes backed with a good mix of mostly positive reviews from previous buyers across many different countries such as the UK, Canada and the US.
The dimensions to note when delivered are 40.6cm long by 31.8cm wide by 34.3cm high and the assembled dimensions are 13.5 inches high by 16 inches wide by 12.5 inches deep so you get a very small exercise machine that takes up minimal space in your home unlike larger pieces of fitness equipment such as treadmills or exercise bikes. Batteries are included in the package for the digital monitor to get you started and there are resistance bands included to improve the toning of your upper body core muscle groups of arms, chest and your back
The heights of the steps can be adjusted with the twist of a knob, you get robust non slip wide pedals to cater for faster paced stepping and the digital monitor keeps track of the main parameters such as steps, scans, calories and timings. A manual is included which must be read prior to use especially from a maintenance point of view so please make not to skip this part
For the resistance, it is powered using Hydraulic cylinders, the grips on the resistance bands are high quality and comfortable to use with their textured grips and the maximum weight capacity guidance allowance is 100kg or 15.7 stone

Price Guide: Less than £80

Pros to Note:

Instead of using a treadmill, you get a low impact exercise routine here which is kinder to your knees, joints and ankles
Unlike larger units of exercise machines, you get a small compact stepper here that takes up minimum space in your home and can be stored away easily after use or even under your bed
You can start at the lower steps to get accustomed to it and then work to larger and higher steps as time goes by once you get the hang of it
Instead of having to go walking at night or in bad weather conditions, you can easily get your steps completed in the comfort of your own home – keep warm, safe and dry!
You can get to work on your thighs, calves, obliques, hips and buttocks all at the same time while getting your upper body and shoulder workout on the bands in tandem with the stepping
It helps to provide a lighter type exercise session rather than a hardcore cardio session so you can get your steps in without having to break a massive sweat in the process
Rather than paying out big money for a large treadmill, rowing machine or exercise bike, you can get your mini stepper at a fraction of the price so there are certainly a lot of money to be saved when buying a mini stepper like this

Cons to Note:

The batteries LR44H used for the monitor are different to the normal type batteries and can be more difficult than expected to source (when the time comes to have them replaced)
The digital monitor is quite basic and we would question the accuracy of some of the data such as calories being burned
There is no pre-set programmes, blue tooth connectivity, MP3 connection so it’s a very basic piece of equipment without any of the higher end premium features
There is no historical memory from one session to the next so you start from scratch every time you start a new stepping session
You need to pay particular attention to any squeaking noises and applications of oils where necessary
In terms of cardio workouts, the mini stepper is way behind what you get when compared to running on a treadmill – it’s harder to get the blood and sweat pumping here in our opinion
Good balance is needed on your end as it doesn’t come with any centre stabiliser support bars
Warranty appears to be limited to 30 days only and isolated cases of leaking oils from the hydraulics have been reported -plus they can get hot so be careful to let them cool down first

Costing Saving Alternative

For those of you who do not have the space or the money for a treadmill or an exercise bike, then this mini stepper can give you an alternative means to getting your steps in but don’t be expecting miracles as the cardio workout on a mini stepper is a far less challenging than the cardio workout session you get on a bike, rowing machine or a treadmill in our humble opinion.
