Advantages: Really does work
Disadvantages: Cords can click off while in use
I received the Reebok stepper as a Christmas present 2 years ago when I first started my quest to lose weight and at £50 was quite reasonable.
The stepper came in a large box as It itself a lot larger than you would imagine, The Reebok Stepper came with instructions that has about 5 exercise tips on and cord bands that click into the bottom of the stepper on either side of It so whether you want to use them or not Is entirely optional and up to you.
There is also a calorie counter that clicks on and off the Stepper and tells you how many calories you've burnt and how long you have been exercising which is In my opinion quite useful.
I find using the stepper with the cords a little bit to much so don't use them with It a lot. When in use you really feel them working on your arms and can feel the effects for up to 2 - 3 days at a time until your body gets use to the exercising.
The Machine has a dial on the front of It which lets You decide what difficultly you want to Step to, Easy or Hard which basically controls how much of an effort your going to need to use while Stepping and as we all no the harder It Is the quicker the effects.
The first few times I did exercise on the Stepper was difficult as I was very unfit at the time, After about 15 minutes I could really feel the effects on my legs and struggled to do even 20 minutes. I also had muscle aches in my whole legs for up to 4 days at a time, Although this is obviously a good thing as It shows how much the equipment being used is working.
It took at least 4 - 5 weeks for me to actually build up my fitness enough to go half an hour to an hour on the stepper with ease, And overall toned up my calves, Tummy, Thighs and Bum quite a bit. With the cords I did see some improvement but not as much as the stepper as I didn't use them as much. This did take some time but stick with it the effects are amazing and well worth all the hard work.
The only negative thing iv got to say about the Reebok stepper is that when using both the cords with the stepper they tend to click off very easily and once hit me in the face which is quite dangerous so please take precaution.
The stepper can be difficult to store as it is quite bulky and heavy and the only batteries required are treble A batteries which do come with the machine and are only needed for the calorie counter.
Summary: Reebok on a winner
