As Seen On TV Lateral Thigh Trainer Review Summary

Weekend warriors are not thrilled with the As Seen on TV Lateral Thigh Trainer. The idea is good say health conscious consumers. But, the work out is light. The Lateral Thigh Trainer does not have adequate resistance and settings for more advanced training. Bottom line – the As Seen on TV Lateral Thigh Trainer gets old fast. It’s boring say exercise gadget reviewers.

Built well but could injure the knees. Plus it's BORING

Quick View: This is a good stepper but the sideways motion is really tough on the knees. It made my surgically repaired knee throb so I had to stop using it. It's not a bad machine but it could be dangerous if you are not very careful.

Full View: I bought this product about three years ago and it is still being widely sold. I was looking for a traditional stepper because I hate treadmills and wanted to see if stepping would be less boring and evil. (I hate treadmills.)

Here I Go! For a Few Weeks Anyway.
There are no handles or other types of hand braces on this stepper. This could pose a problem...

I liked this trainer when I first saw it because it does not take much space, is compact and can easily fit under a bed. I like the training as well but soon found it boring as there is no way to change the resistance of the training so that you can increase the intensity of your training and gain more out of it. This is really lacking and that is why I don't use it much anymore more. They could do without the calory counter but allow for variation in the level of resistance training you want. I found it easy to use while watching TV so that I would not get bored with it. Not a bad machine just... review »

I owned this one for a short time and it worked okay for about a month. I definitely did not get the results in my legs I expected. The motions were not as smooth as I hoped. The calorie counter was pretty much useless as it did not seem very accurate at all . The tension knob broke after a month so I was unable to adjust that ( it had no tension at all). I had to use it with an old rug because the stepper left constant grease stains on my carpet. The video that came with it was alittle cheesy and the stepper also got and it was alittle rough on my knees.

I am 16plbs male who was using this machine and while I was stepping the chain snapped and both steps collapsed causing my left ankle to sprain. I was stepping gently as reccomended in the instructions. We have had it 2 years and I only use it once in a blue moon, what a piece of SHIT! Be careful if you use it, the "official" website says it is discontinued....wonder why!?!
