what's up ladies and gentlemen this is
0:01
David Benjamin from WellStar reviews and
0:03
healthy Wild free today I'm going to be
0:05
reviewing the nice day stair stepper
0:09
which is a stair stepper that you can
0:11
get on Amazon for like 60 bucks it has
0:14
hydraulics in it and a little sort of
0:17
digital well I won't say really digital
0:18
it's more of like an analog digital
0:19
screen here up top that basically shows
0:22
you how many steps you've taken uh as
0:25
well as the time and calories and you
0:26
can push that button to see different
0:27
things different settings but uh
0:30
basically it has a band that's attached
0:32
to either uh leg or foot if you will the
0:35
right side and the left side and when
0:38
you stand on this device basically what
0:41
you're going to do and I'll show you you
0:43
stand on with your right foot and left
0:45
foot and these bands obviously there's
0:47
resistance there and you can hold the
0:50
bands up at like let's just say uh 90°
0:54
angle like this or you can curl further
0:56
and if you're standing fully this you're
0:58
going to get more resistance the further
1:00
up that you go so you can pull up a
1:02
little bit or all like Midway like a 90°
1:05
angle or you know 80 90° you know
1:08
whatever however much you want so the
1:10
further you pull up the more the
1:11
resistance but basically what you're
1:13
going to do is just stand and Alternate
1:15
and rock back and forth like this now um
1:19
this I'll say what I like and what I
1:20
don't like about this what I like is
1:21
that these bands do give you more
1:23
resistance and like I said the higher up
1:25
you go on this the more uh resistance
1:28
you have and the better the better the
1:30
workout becomes essentially so I do like
1:32
that aspect of it but I will say like
1:37
itself when you're using this there's
1:40
probably I mean I'll actually show you
1:45
kind of like how far that is but there's
1:47
like a I don't know that's the degree
1:50
that's the angle I mean it's like a 45°
1:52
angle in terms of the range of motion or
1:55
ROM that you're getting so you're not
1:57
really getting a ton of range of motion
1:59
that's probably the biggest downside
2:00
about this the bands do help because you
2:05
resistance where I feel it most is in my
2:07
quads uh and I don't feel it a lot to be
2:10
honest but it all depends on your level
2:12
of fitness and the shape that you're in
2:15
and the health at your end that's really
2:17
what it comes down to if you're looking
2:18
to move and be active and you don't move
2:20
a lot this is a really good sort of
2:22
introductory tool to get your body
2:24
moving and more active again and it's
2:26
cheap it's only 60 bucks on Amazon and
2:27
I'll put the link to this below but um I
2:31
think that aspect of it is nice and it
2:33
allows you to kind of grow with the
2:34
resistance pressure uh but if I just do
2:39
know 20 30 40 of these I start to feel a
2:43
little bit in my quads I'm I was hoping
2:45
I'd feel more of my glutes uh I really
2:48
don't and I was hoping to feel something
2:50
more in my calves and I don't as well
2:52
because my heel has to stay pinned down
2:55
to the back of this in order to you know
2:58
maintain my position positioning and not
3:01
you know fall and slip and have my foot
3:02
go out I have to kind of keep my feet
3:04
down if my calf could rise I mean I
3:07
guess I can kind of Rise my calf but the
3:09
problem is is when I Rise my calf then
3:11
all my weight is on my opposite foot so
3:13
if I'm rising my calf it it doesn't
3:16
really work you're not Contracting your
3:17
calf with your body weight you're
3:19
Contracting your calf Airborne which
3:21
doesn't create a muscle contraction that
3:23
grows that calf muscle so you're not
3:25
really working your calves you're not
3:26
really working your hamstrings um the
3:29
glutes a little bit I guess I would say
3:31
that I would't rule the glutes out
3:32
completely there is a slight contraction
3:35
of the glutes when I'm coming back when
3:37
I'm coming down here so there is a
3:39
little bit of a glute workout but more
3:41
than anything it's going to be your
3:42
quads your muscle right above your knees
3:45
and you know like I said The more up you
3:47
pull on these resistance bands the
3:49
higher you go like for me I can hold
3:51
them up here and I stand all the way and
3:54
I'm literally standing holding them up
3:56
to my shoulders by the way but I'm just
3:57
standing and doing that and then I'm
4:00
doing this okay I feel a little bit more
4:02
now I can feel the burn a bit more so if
4:05
you're looking for a little bit of a
4:06
higher level just pull the bands higher
4:09
go further up with those bands and
4:12
you're going to get more resistance and
4:13
you're going to get a better workout but
4:15
um you know the upsides are this thing
4:16
is cheap it's very space conscious it's
4:19
space friendly you can put it in the
4:21
corner like it is over here in the house
4:24
and that's nice but at the same time I
4:27
really only feel kind of
4:30
my quad's working I don't feel my
4:32
hamstrings or glutes all that much your
4:34
calves can't really get a work out
4:35
because whenever your foot goes down all
4:37
the weight is on it and that calf
4:38
contraction doesn't fire those muscles
4:41
and create resistance into those calf
4:42
muscles but you're going to get a little
4:44
slight quad workout so you know um it's
4:48
better than nothing and it's a really
4:50
good starter uh Fitness you know device
4:54
if you are looking to become more fit
4:56
and kind of get back into the movement
4:57
of things uh but if you're kind of more
5:00
athletic and you know you um you know
5:05
you're looking for a good workout or a
5:07
great workout I probably wouldn't
5:08
recommend the next the next day uh I
5:12
think it's called next day or nice sorry
5:15
I would recommend the uh nice day stair
5:18
stepper because you're just not going to
5:19
get that much workout from that I would
5:21
uh recommend if you're really looking to
5:24
get a really good full body workout in
5:26
your legs and in your glutes uh and in
5:29
your whole lower body I would recommend
5:31
uh rebounding or a vibration plate over
5:33
this those are much pricier options this
5:36
is very cheap so if you're getting
5:37
started this is great but you know if
5:39
you're more if you're more advanced or
5:41
you're more serious about getting fit
5:43
and getting back into shape I would
5:44
recommend a rebounder or vibration plate
5:46
because you're just going to get the
5:48
most full uh lower body leg workout um
5:52
quads hamstrings glutes calves all of it
5:55
and that's very important because you
5:57
want to build all of those muscles so
5:59
with that being said um this is cool for
6:00
60 bucks but I wouldn't recommend it if
6:02
you're in good shape or great shape
6:04
because it's really not going to do much
6:05
for you but if you're you know looking
6:07
to get back into shape or you maybe you
6:08
have a couple extra pounds or you know
6:11
overweight uh with extra fat this will
6:13
help you kind of start to burn some of
6:14
those calories and get back into the
6:15
swing of things so anyways check out the
6:18
link on Amazon below I'll link it up
