Lateral Bun and thigh trainer?

[Belle Du Jour]

It's basically a small step machine that moves side to side in addition to up and down. I've read some reviews online about the quality of the product being poor, but that you get a good workout on it.

Does anyone own this machine? I saw it at Walmart for $58, and was wondering if there were any LHCFers who owned it, and could give it a yay or a nay.

I think a few ladies posted about this machine a few months ago, I couldn’t find it but you can probably do a more detailed search to get more reviews.

Anyways I own it, and now that I see Wal-Mart has it for $58 I just might have to return and repurchase (paid $110 for mine). I havent been consistent with it long enough to see results, but I can say it’s a good cardio workout and could be great for toning the thighs. You REALLY feel it in the upper and front thigh area after about 2 minutes on the machine and it's small enough to put in a small closet- which is convenient. And yes, the reviews that you've read were right, it is cheaply made. IT SQUEEKS loudly after a few uses and (though it’s a good workout) it gets annoying after a few minutes. I used mine maybe 5 times (out of the month that I had it) and the one time I decided to use it for the full 30 minutes the resistance gave out on me and hasn’t worked since then (and I'm pretty light). I think I get a better workout for that area and overall on the elliptical machine. The one I bought was fairly cheap ($248 at Sports Authority) if you’re looking for home equipment. HTH.

Thanks Baha_Ma. I'll pass on it.
