has anyone got one of these and :-

Are they worth the money.

Are they noisey when you use them.

Are theyeasy to store.

Are you glad you bought one, and if you knew then what you know now would you buy it again.

Just neede to ask as cash is tight in our house and I wondered if they really are as good as the advert says they are.

MIL has got one & she uses it every day. Think it only makes swishing noises, but not sure if they differ by make.

I just have a stepper from Argos which cost about £30. It's not too bad but don't use it as my main exercise as it gets boring.

Ebay is meant to be good for these things (think MIL got hers there).

i bought one after seeing the ad one very early morning with ds2. watched one off those dreadful innfomercials!!
went to ebay and got one inc delivery for £39. it is great and really helped me to shift weight. it is small so can bbe stored easily, put in front of telly and just step away whils watching 'enders!
would def recommend. i got sick of puttting off going to the gym and then worrying that i looked gross in my gym outfit, you can do this at home, even just 30 mins a day will make a difference.

good luck!!

Large Boots stores are doing a range of health and fitness items... If you don't fancy the shopping i'm sure that they would do them online too...

I have one but haven't used it as much as planned too[lazy emoticon]!
Its very heavy and quite big.
Not at all noisy.
I wish i hadn't bought it but if i use it more i might change my mind!I couldn't afford it and have nowhere to store it properly!

I got my stepping thing as I normally run but sometimes if I have to work later I can't get out in daylight hours or sometimes just put it off after LOs in bed. Also if it's raining I also do stepping instead!

The great thing about it is that it can be done in front of the tv. Did think about trying stepping while washing up but didn't in the end! Wonder if it would work though?!
