can two people do step exercise on this at the same time?

Two people would be able to step on this at the same time, as long as the exercise doesn't require any lateral movement.

no; the purpose of the size is so that one person can use the whole step at any given time according to the step class you are doing.

The steps are high. I would not recommend it for an older person with limited mobility.

Not separately, if you are wanting to do different levels at the same time. It is a great piece of equipment.

I think so, I've seen treadmills for workstations, I don't see why the steps wouldn't work, but I can tell you this, if you do fine painting or drawings at your workstation is not going to work... :)

It could be used for step up exercises, but without the blue mat it has holes in it so that two or more can be stacked. I see no problem using it with the blue mat it has adhesive and stays in place nicely. You may need more that one depending on how high you wish to step up.

In theory, I guess you can use the stepper while seated, but I don't think you'd receive the same benefits. Certainly, you couldn't use the arm bands without some serious adjustments.

It depends on your balance and how fast you use it. Think Stair Stepper. Going slow - it should work. I use mine with a pair of walking sticks and work it as fast as I can at high resistance - In 5 minutes you have a sweat - Turn it into a moderate jog pace and you can get in 30 minutes to an hour of heart strengthening workout depending on your time and you will feel you also got a good aerobic workout.

In an infomercial we had an "ah ha" moment when we saw the person using it as a step for minimal step up and down exercises. They stood behind the chair facing the back of the chair, held on to the back and stepped up then down. That's the one use we've seen.

My wife and I can move around quite easily. Have not tried to go upstairs with it, but I believe it can be done.

I don't see why not.Please note the product comes with dvd and also instruction booklet which explains the different exercises.

You could, one on each side, but I would tell you to NOT purchase this long version of this product as it is VERY poorly made and just about impossible to move up and down the 180 degrees that it is supposed to move without the help of another person. One of the main reasons for this is the extra length. Unless you have a person who would try to get out of bed on their own, I would order the shorter version.

Yes. I highly recommend that feature! You can vary the incline and resistance without breaking stride or interrupting your workout.

Yes, if you mean real physical steps and you keep going and not take over four seconds per step. However, if your using a stair climber and your not constant stride even a second between steps then no it won't count.

I have an avid imagination...I would say YES SHE CAN! But, it won't be as easy as for me to walk over to it and "step". I can see putting it under a table that she is seated at and can steady herself on with the stepper underneath her. It seems like the portable pedaling gizmo would be better for her.

There are two removable layers under each heel lift which can be switched around from one to another, so my answer is "yes" you can do that.

Of course you can. Ingenuity and some household materials will go a long way in turn your strider into an exercise and reading platform.There is more than one way, so however you want to implement it is up to you.

Hi DorisI haven't tried using it on steps yet. I'll get back to you on that.
