There’s no need to worry about creating your own workout routine with this stair stepper from Bowflex. If you download the JRNY app, you’ll have daily custom workouts that will adjust their intensity and duration as you start to see progress. If you opt out of the app, you can still follow along with pre-programmed workouts on the machine’s screen to maximize your exercise time and get into a rhythm of efficiently toning your body.

Whether you follow the app or not, the M8 Max is a serious calorie burner, combining the motions of a traditional stepper with those of an elliptical, and giving you a full-body workout every time you use it.

Imagine if you could get the thrill of climbing a rock wall right at home. The good news is that you can when you work out on this vertical climbing machine. This alternative to a typical stepper combines a traditional lower body stepper with an upper body climber to work and tone your arms, legs, lower back, and more, giving you a full-body workout in just 30 minutes.

What’s even better about this machine is that it’s so low-impact that your risk of exacerbating existing aches and pains is slim (although, of course, you should still exercise caution when using it).

This stepper can also be easily folded and stored so it doesn’t take up too much space in your home.
