This Mini Stair Stepper Offers A Solid Workout In A Small Package
August 31st, 2016
If you want to stay in shape, but have a list a mile long as to why gym workouts aren’t right for you (e.g., “too far to drive,” “I hate sweating in public,” etc.), the Stamina InStride Electonic Stepper just might be your fitness dream come true. You can place this 12×16 inch battery-powered mini stair stepper in front of the TV and pump your legs while watching your favorite reality show, or take it to the office for a quick workout before your afternoon coffee break. The Stamina InStride Electronic Stepper comprises two hydraulic cylinders, giving you the same cardio, toning and fat-burning workout you’d get at a gym.
It also features textured pedals for stability, and a timer and step-counting device to help you meet your exercise goals. That said, this mini stair stepper has been reported to squeak a lot, requiring a steady supply of WD40. And weighing in at twenty pounds, the machine is on the heavy side, despite its small stature. Additionally, parts have been known to break with normal wear-and-tear, however Stamina offers a one-year warranty on the InStride Electronic Stepper’s steel frame, and a 90-day warranty on all other parts.

Stylish Bowflex Fit Trainer 10M Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch
July 23rd, 2016
The Bowflex Fit Trainer Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch is a stylish way to keep track of your heart rate during aerobic activities. It’s easy to use and can also count the amount of fat and calories burned during your workout. With this handy strapless heart rate monitor, you maximize your routines without compromising style. This heart rate monitor uses pulse technology, which means all you have to do is place your finger on the monitor and you’ll get an accurate reading. You can also set a heart rate zone that allows you to stay within a safe heart rate during your workout. This feature also has visual and audible alarms to stay on track.
Other highlights include a stopwatch and countdown timer, plus a water resistant exterior. Product owners report that they love the strapless feature, which allows them to move from one activity to the next. The heart rate monitor is also consistent, although not always accurate. In fact, many online reviews share that in order to get precise readings from this fitness heart rate monitor, you’ll have to be motionless. This can prove frustrating while working out, especially when having to stop numerous times. Although Bowflex is a reputable brand, some reviewers have found that the Schwinn Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Watch offers more accurate readings and the same calorie counting features. Yet for just a bit more, you can’t beat the stylish design of the strapless cardiosport heart rate monitor, which is bound to make your workouts more productive.
