Mini Stepper Exercise Machine For Cardio & Weight Loss

Burn calories and tone your body with an efficient, space-saving mini stepper.

Regularly taking the stairs is proven to improve heart and lung function, balance, and blood circulation. It's one of many reasons the traditional step machine was invented. These gym-size pieces of equipment mimic the natural movements you'd make if you were climbing actual stairs. Unfortunately, step machines are usually too big to fit in the average house, and they come with a hefty price tag.

Today's best mini steppers work the same muscles as larger step equipment without taking over your living room or overwhelming your budget. In addition to being heart-healthy, mini steppers tone and build muscle in your hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, and calves. You can use a mini stepper for an actual workout or slide it under your desk to stay active while working. When you've finished, mini steppers are storable in a closet or corner of the room.

If you're ready to jump on the mini stepper bandwagon, there are a few things you should pay attention to. We're going to run down the pros and cons of our favorite steppers to help you find the right machine.
