Stamina Active Aging Easy Step for Low Impact Cardio Exercise

Stamina Easy Step and the Teeter were the 2 machines I considered. The teeter had amazing reviews, but was triple the price. The Stamina is about 50 pounds lighter and has a smaller footprint which makes it easier to live with on a daily basis. The stamina uses magnetic resistance like the Teeter, so its motion is silky smooth and silent. I prefer the handle grip shape on the Stamina over the Teeters. I am 6 feet tall and 200 pounds and the Stamina feels rock solid. The comfortable seat can be adjusted up/down and forward/backward to fine tune your personal fit. I'm at both the 2nd highest setting on both the seat height and backward setting, so it definitely could accommodate someone up to 6'4”. The step thru height of the Stamina is lower than the Teeter, making it easier to get on and off. The Stamina resistance knob is located right in front of you and is large making it easier to read and adjust. The Teeter's resistance knob is tiny and located under the seat making it more difficult to adjust. The Stamina Easy step gives a fun low impact workout. I look forward to getting on it daily. The only improvement I would like to see is longer foot pedals like the Teeter has, so it could fit your whole foot.

For a moderately priced stepper I find it is well made, compact and works very well. I guess the fact that you can fold it and store it is a bonus although I leave mine up so I can hop on it at any time. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to a friend. In fact, I bought mine on a friend's recommendation.
