Find out more about the benefits and features of the Body Culture Mini Stepper and other exercise machines.

The mini twist stepper has developed from the original mini steppers with the main difference the twisting movement. Also, called a lateral movement this extra twist helps to tone buttocks and thighs, legs, waist and the hips. The unique twisting movement targets different muscles such as your oblique's that the original would not be able to do.

The main benefit of the mini twist stepper is that they are compact in design so they can be stored away either under the table or the chair without taking up too much space. They are also lightweight with many step machines weighing around 10 kgs or less. This makes them very portable so you can take them mostly anywhere without breaking your back. Many people take them to their office, have a quick workout during lunch and slide it under their desk.

The twist mini stepper has a simple design that consists of a compact sturdy  metal frame which holds two hydraulic foot pedals. You place both feet into the pedals and press down to begin the stepping motion. You can adjust the resistance to suit your own fitness level.

One of the most popular products is the Body Sculpture mini twist stepper with bungee cords. Body Sculpture  are one  of the largest fitness equipment manufacturers in the world. The bungee chords act as resistance bands to tone the upper body making this stepper an  all body workout exercise  machine. It also has an adjustable step height feature that allows your workout intensity to be altered to build your endurance gradually.

This Body Sculpture also includes a computer. Do not expect this computer to be too sophisticated but it is able to measure your time, count, strides per minute, calories and includes a scan function. This model has received very good reviews on Amazon with over 60 reviews however, a few customers did mention the computer was not very reliable or did not work. But this product got an overall 4 star rating because people found it well made, lightweight and good value for money.

There are another two step machine products called the impex easy step plus mini stepper with twist board and the sport line mini twist stepper. These two products are slightly different as they feature a  twist board and handle that also provides a lateral movement. The handlebars also help you to keep your balance as many people do find it difficult to stay balanced when they first use steppers.

Overall the twist mini stepper is a popular exercise trainer that can help the casual exerciser at home to strengthen and tone their lower body. This type of fitness machine will not be that effective at burning calories as it cannot provide you with an intense aerobic workout. Therefore, if you are a serious keep fit fanatic then you would need to look else where.
