Do I need a stepper for this program or can I do without it?

You don't need a step bench. On the chest circuits some of the exercisers use a bench and some lie on the floor; it's a choice (regarding preference).

You do not need a stepper for this program. However, if you would like a wider range of motion for the chest press portion of this workout, a stepper would help. You can always purchase the program and then if you feel you would like a stepper you can purchase one later.

You can totally do it without a stepper. The videos show how to do the exercises with or without it.

You don't need a step. I use one at the gym but do t at home. You get a great workout without it

not that I am aware but it is not a 'big' twist. i personally find it more comfortable than the straight stepper.

Check to make sure the cable is around the pulley. Also, you can push down on one side of the stepper and pull the other side up, this should raise the side you are pulling on.

No need for that. In general, it does a very good job counting steps. It has a default stride length that works well if you're close to average height for your gender; if you're particularly tall or short you can set a custom stride length in the online profile that you can set.

No, just walking. If used for dancing uYou have to reset your step distance, which is easy enough.

There is a step-by-step dvd in the package. You can start with it, also as absolute beginner. :)

No, the stepper does not require assembly. The only thing you have to do is attach the exercise bands to the unit which is a simple task.

No. It's a stand alone program. It is very limited, and best for beginners. Limited in design function, you can only choose blocks already prefabricated by the program. But very helpful for figuring out yardage and whatnot.

Yes you can. The step step instructions on the computer will walk you right through it.

The stepper is 5 1/2 inches with the additional adjustment--3 3/4 without it.

You can use this step with or without weights. If you are in good shape I would use 5 to 10 pd weights. If you are just beginning you might want to wait and work your way up to weights.

Yes by removing the 3 pins. You can fold it away. No you don't move you're arms. You hold on to the top bar. You can also adjust tension on both cylinders. This machine gives you a good leg & butt workout. And it's much sturdier than most steppers I've had. I am really happy with this machine. And use it daily.

Yes, I had surgery on my foot so it required me to do calf raises but also be reminded that this stepper is light weight and maybe it depends on your size but I recommend it.

Absolutely yes! this program comes with a beginners dvd that breaks downs the steps. However; as I stated before, I'd recommend the newer program(Zumba Incredible results), it is a lot easier to follow but still challenging.

So why in this ad arent the steps needed listed, so as to complete the unit?

I have found this to be the case for me too. I have not been able to use the programs, other than the lowest setting. I also have strength in my legs. Otherwise I like the machine a lot. I do wish we could reduce the resistance to enjoy the workout programs. Maybe Xterra could answer this issue???
