So I sold my Gazelle Freestyle because it did absolutely nothing for me, IE. No workout what-so-ever. I bought a stair stepper for only $95 on eBay. Here’s a description of it:

Stair Climber with Heart-Rate Monitor
Suggested Retail Price: $149.95
Product Code: SR410YYY
Our new Stair Climber helps you step your way to a toned, sculpted lower body with full-range stepping action on big contoured footplates. Hydraulic cylinders offer optimal resistance, a smooth motion and a steep vertical range of up to 11 inches for that energetic, "feel-the-burn" leg-pumping workout.
This upgraded stepper features a built-in electronic heart-rate monitor. Just grip the rubberized handlebars with your palms touching the metal plates to continuously measure your heart rate so you'll get the greatest aerobic benefit from your exercise.
The large, easy-to-see LCD shows heart rate, elapsed time, countdown time, steps taken and estimated calories burned; runs on 2 AA batteries (included). Rugged, stable, steel machine stands 45" tall x 21" long x 21" wide and weighs 22 lbs. 90-day warranty. |
Seemed like a nice investment, so I went a head and got it. I figured that working out on
Stair Stepper would be more of a exercise then on the Gazelle Freestyle. I’ll keep you all posted on how this thing works. I plan on working out on it every day for at least 30 min.’s. Plus walking the dog every other day. We’ll see how this goes.
