Amazon.com Product Description
Limited in space but still want a great cardiovascular workout? Look no further than the Stamina InStride electronic stepper, which offers a footprint of only 12 inches wide by 16 inches long. As a result, you can use your InStride stepper just about anywhere--in front of the TV, while on the phone, in your sunroom, outside on the patio, or even at work. The InStride stepper is even small enough to toss into a workout bag and take on vacation. The stepper is equipped with two hydraulic cylinders that create a stepping motion similar to those of commercial stair steppers. As you step, you work your calves, thighs, buttocks, and core while boosting your cardio, helping you burn calories and fat. The InStride's battery-operated multifunction fitness monitor, meanwhile, times each workout and counts the number of steps, so you can stay motivated and on track to reach your fitness goals.

Construction details include a steel frame and wide, textured foot pedals for stability. The InStride, which weighs 20 pounds, carries a one-year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty on parts.

About Stair Steppers
Stair steppers continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same benefits as running stairs, but with the "any time, in any weather, without having to leave the comfort and safety of your home" convenience. Stair steppers don't take up much space, require moderate balance and coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors.

Following on the heels of treadmills and exercise bikes, stair steppers took their first step towards fitness machine success in the early 1980s. Like most exercise equipment, stair steppers have come a long way technically speaking. For example, advanced computers on most new models allow users to track their vitals at a glance. However, the most crucial benefits of stair steppers remain the impacts of cardiovascular and muscle tone fitness. Stair steppers continue to offer an exercise that is less jarring than treadmills, but more intense than elliptical trainers.

Good for quickie workouts; too flimsy for anything more December 17, 2008
The space-saving design is a lifesaver, but with that comes flimsy construction as others have mentioned. I used it regularly for just under 90 days, and by regularly I mean 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes each. The workout was great! However, at just a few days shy of the 90 day warranty the cable broke. I requested a new one and never received it (2 months later), even after calling the company who told me it would be in the mail. Definitely would not recommend unless you just use it as a backup source of exercise maybe once a week.

Wouldn't recommend November 15, 2008
Not good - too hard to press down. If I utilized steppers before and this one was the worse one ever.

Happy camper October 20, 2008
It's exactly as advertised. So far I haven't had any problems. The assembly on it is very easy. It's very sturdy. My only concert is it's not making a funny, aqueaky noise in it's pully system. It hasn't affected how it works but make me nervous that it eventually could. Other than that, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great product! September 29, 2008
I was a little skeptical when I read some of the reviews where people had problems with it breaking, but I am so glad I bought this stepper. I've been using it for a month, 6 days a week and no problems so far. It gives me a great workout. The only criticism I have is that the counter is inaccurate, but I just keep track of my progress using the timer instead of the number of steps. Also, it did squeak a little bit, but I read a suggestion from another reviewer recommending to WD40 the cable ends and the squeaking stopped immediately.

A great product for the price. I hate exercising, but don't mind it using this stepper. I've already lost 10 pounds!
