Cardiovascular fitness is an important and vital part of overall health and wellness. However, walking takes some planning and can be difficult to accomplish when you are pressed for time. Besides, when you are living in a crowded metropolitan area where pollution levels are at an all-time high, walking outdoors may not be a good option. But there is an answer.

Mini exercise steppers also known as mini steppers, is a compact exercise equipment designed for a low-impact cardiovascular workout. Similar to walking or running the stairs in effect, it is ideal for individuals of all fitness levels. It's a great calorie-burning lower body workout that increases strength and stamina while developing cardiovascular endurance. Because of its compact size, it can be easily stored and can be brought on business trips so that you don't skip your workout regimen even when you're far from home.

Mini steppers have different features that make exercising on it effective and efficient. For starters, this fitness equipment have digital displays that enable you to track the time spent for exercise, the calories you have burned and the number of steps taken on the stepper. With these helpful information readily available, you are able to view the effort you have placed in each workout session. By keeping an exercise log of your time and number of steps taken, you can make your succeeding sessions more or less intense or lengthen your workout time to meet your cardiovascular fitness needs. Another feature of mini steppers is its wide and nonskid foot pedals that prevent slips and falls, making it a safe workout. Impact is minimized through shock absorbers in the pedals. This allows people with minor joint and muscular problems to still exercise with the stepper. Finally, steppers have knobs or buttons that allow you to increase or decrease the level of intensity of your steps. As you become stronger, you can make your mini stepper workout more effective by adding resistance. With more resistance, your muscles will become stronger and your lower body strength increased. You will be able to increase your workout time and gain the benefits of the workout since you won't tire as easily as when you first started.

If you're on the market for a stepper, try to find one that comes with resistance bands. With the bands, you also benefit your upper body with flexibility workouts that will increase your range of motion and tone your arms and torso. When you are ready to begin your workout, make sure that you have rubber shoes with resistant soles on. The pedals might be slip-resistant but to keep your workout truly safe, don't step on the machine barefoot or with only socks on.
