Getting your steps in can be tough when the weather is awful out or your motivation is just low for the day. On those days when going outside feels tough, this little mini stepper could help maintain your fitness. Designed to mimic walking up a staircase, this gadget can easily stow away out of sight, whether in a closet or under a desk, and at 16 pounds, you can take it just about anywhere. One reviewer calls it their “stairway to fitness heaven,” saying it’s a surprisingly intense workout: “After just a few minutes, my legs were burning like I had climbed Mount Everest. But the best part? I didn’t even have to leave my house or put on real pants. Take that, gym membership!”

If you need a way to take more steps, this is an excellent one — mainly because it’s actually on sale now at 17% off list price. Normally $60, you can grab it now for $50.

While walking pads have boomed in popularity (HuffPost readers have been obsessed with this one on sale for under $100), this small stair stepper helps you achieve the same thing but goes a little further: It has an LCD screen that displays calories burned, step count, time elapsed and more. The stair stepper is also only 16 inches tall at its maximum height and comes with two resistance bands that latch onto its base for additional full-body conditioning.

Several users say this mini stepper is easy to use, has plenty of adjustable resistance, and love that it comes preassembled. “This stepper is amazing,” says one customer. I work out regularly, but this thing gives me a WORKOUT and quick! After just one week of regular stepping (about 15 minutes a day), I received three out-of-the-blue compliments on how my legs looked toned and fit. They asked what I was doing, and my response was: mini stepper!”
