On days when you can\u2019t bear to leave the AC, this on-sale mini rocking step machine<\/a> could help maintain your fitness<\/a> goals from the comfort of your couch. Whether you use it sitting down to keep your legs moving or to fortify your balance standing up, reviewers say it\u2019s building strength and making exercise more fun.

Rather than a traditional, vertical staircase stepper, this lateral machine moves side to side, with a rocking motion through your legs, to build balance. <\/p>\n

\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

While walking pads and stair steppers have boomed in popularity, this balance stepper helps you achieve cardio and movement from home, but with an emphasis on building balance. The side-to-side motion targets your hips, thighs, glutes and core, helping you improve balance by maintaining your motor coordination, core strength and even weight distribution through your body. <\/p>\n

Made with lightweight but durable steel, in all black or in white and pink, this compact stepper can easily stow out of sight, whether in a closet or under a desk, and at 12 pounds, you can take it just about anywhere. It holds up to 330 pounds and features an LCD screen that shows workout time, steps moved and calories burned. <\/p>\n

The stepper can be used while sitting down or standing, and comes with two resistance bands for extra stability when you use the machine standing up and balancing. Shopper Lily<\/a> says the machine \u201cworks great for a simple cardio that can get your heart rate up or mellow workout,\u201d that \u201cworks the legs well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because your feet stay parallel to the ground as you move, the brand says the device puts less pressure on joints, making it a low-impact exercise. <\/p>\n

Per the American Sport And Fitness Association<\/a>, \u201clow-impact exercise\u201d means movements that don\u2019t have forceful landings or cause \u201cshock absorption\u201d in your joints \u2014 like running and jumping do. Generally, these movements include having one foot on the ground at all times, making them a great option for older folks and people with mobility limitations,<\/a> according to the National Library of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Reviewer H. W. Craig<\/a> calls it a \u201cchallenging\u201d device, that\u2019s still \u201cpretty gentle on my joints. Not quite as easy as an elliptical, but way better than a treadmill.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWell, WOW! You get a workout standing or sitting while using this device,\u201d a reviewer in their 60s<\/a> wrote. \u201c…I used it for a little while standing on it and rocking, then sat in a chair and used it some more. I could feel the work out this morning when I woke up!\u201d <\/p>\n

Shopper ML<\/a> adds that the rocker is \u201cmuch easier on the knees than other steppers I\u2019ve used. It\u2019s sturdy and well balanced. It does move a little when using it, but attaching and holding onto the resistance bands helps it stay in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shopper Darcy<\/a>, a 67-year-old who has had \u201ca desk job for decades,\u201d calls the machine a \u201clife changer\u201d for strength building at home. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot much of an exercise person. My ankles are weak. Starting to have my ankles roll sometimes,\u201d they wrote. \u201cThis amazing little rocker already has me sore (lol). All the way from my toes to my waist. And when im brave enough, I\u2019ll add the bungee cords for my upper body.\u201d <\/p>\n

Others compliment how fun the machine is to use, making exercise more enjoyable. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to use and encourages me to exercise every day,\u201d another<\/a> wrote, calling the pink and white machine \u201ccute and fun<\/a>.\u201d They continue: \u201cI know it\u2019s not the most \u2018intense\u2019 workout but I\u2019m just looking for a way to make myself move a bit more than usual.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cA bit early to say, but this is the coolest thing ever,\u201d one reviewer<\/a> said, calling it \u201cthe only unique\u201d stepper currently on the market. \u201cI got this as a present and it\u2019s SOOO fun that I can barely stop wanting to get on it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Reviewers love this rocking step machine<\/a> for helping them move and build balance from the comfort of their homes. Read more 5-star reviews and grab one for you on sale. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been using this for about ten days now, about 15 minutes once or twice a day. Supplementing clam-shell exercises to built glute strength with the Merach Rocking Stepper is making a huge improvement in my recent hip, leg, and foot misalignments and pain. I\u2019m nearly asymptomatic since my exercises and the Rocking Stepper. And I learned recently from my physical therapist that weak glutes are a big reason why the elderly tend to lose balance and fall. Rocking Steppers are a great tool to build glutes and practice balance as one ages. [\u2026]\u201d \u2014 M. Mac<\/a> (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely love this stepper! It\u2019s sturdy, smooth, and gives a great workout without taking up much space. The rocking motion feels comfortable, and the resistance bands are a fantastic bonus for adding upper-body exercise. It was easy to set up, feels well made, and makes working out at home so much more convenient and enjoyable. This is one of the best fitness purchases I\u2019ve made, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective home workout machine.\u201d \u2014 ERIN SOYKA<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI found my balance on it on a first try and I use it often for 30 min using the resistance band or actual dumbbells. It\u2019s a great addition to my home corner when I don\u2019t feel like going to the gym. It makes me sweat after 5 min. Good quality.\u201d \u2014 Betsy<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing..I\u2019ve started using this stepper a few days ago. Started out slow, working my way up. I\u2019m 67 yrs old. Have had a desk job for decades. Not much of an exercise person. My ankles are weak. Starting to have my ankles roll sometimes. This amazing little rocker already has me sore (lol). All the way from my toes to my waist. And when im brave enough, I\u2019ll add the bungee cords for my upper body. Best of all..small footprint \ud83d\udc63 cant say enough about this life changer.\u201d \u2014 Darcy<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cWell, WOW! You get a work out standing or sitting while using this device. I\u2019m a new user and started on it last night. I used it for a little while standing on it and rocking then sat in a chair and used it some more. I could feel the work out this morning when I woke up! I\u2019m a 61 year-old female with weight to lose and I need to work on my balance. I stand in a doorway to use at this point, but I expect my balance to improve! There is no rug\/mat and it \u201cwalks\u201d away when I sit in chair to use. I\u2019ll be getting a mat of some sort to fix that.\u201d \u2014 Laura L.<\/a><\/p>\n
