While exercise machines are handy to have, they sure take up a lot of space. Even if they’re stowable, setting them up and taking them down every day can be a pain. Plus, big machines can be pricy. And besides, while treadmills and stationary bikes are great for cardio, they really don’t give your upper body any kind of workout at all. Don’t you wish you had an inexpensive exercise machine that worked out your whole body, and slid neatly way out of sight when you weren’t using it?

Here’s an inexpensive exercise machine that slides under your desk out of sight, ready to be called into action at a moment’s notice. And it’s a great deal! This mini-stepper features detachable resistance bands to ensure a full-body workout—and right now it’s on sale for just $44. That’s nearly half off the regular price of $80.

 

Offering a full cardio workout and the option for integrated resistance training, the Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Stepper can help you burn calories—and fat—as well as keep your arms, shoulders, and back toned. All in the comfort of your own home (or office).

The mini stepper is easily assembled. Right out of the box, just align the straps under its body, attach the resistance bands, and you’re good to go. It’s steel, so it’s sturdy and durable, with large, textured non-slip foot plates and a hydraulic drive for smooth movement. It features a handy and informative LCD console displays that tracks count, time, speed, and estimates your calories burned, keeping you focused to achieving your fitness goals.

Using low-impact aerobic resistance training, this handy stepper tightens lets you work more than 20 different core muscles in your chest, back, and shoulders, all the while you’re working your quads, abs, glutes, and obliques. A height adjustment knob lets you set the step motion height for either short bursts or long strides. The arm resistance bands are mounted to the frame of the machine and the length is adjustable. They are simple rubber type stretchy resistance bands, similar to bungee cords.

And when you’re finished, the whole unit weighs just 14.5 lb., so you can store it away out of sight and forget it’s even there. It’s so small (16.5″L x 12.5″W x 8″H) and lightweight, it’s easily portable. You can even take it to work and feasibly use it while you’re sitting at your desk. Who wouldn’t love to burn calories while running reports or entering data?

So if you’re in the market for a portable, inexpensive exercise machine that subtly stows away when not in use and won’t bust your budget, the Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Stepper is a great buy—especially at 45 percent off.
