    Hi

    I have never seen this device.

    I suggest you buy a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) that counts calories burned per workout session. Then, you do not need to find out the device name.

    HRM with chest strap are the best

    Good luck in your journey

    Thanks! Actually it has its own calories burned counter, however I don't find it very accurate as it doesn't take my weight into consideration . If anyone knows how I should be logging this workout, pls. reply. I won't be able to buy a decent HRM anytime soon so I'm just gonna have to rely on MFP at the moment.

    By the way, it's called a stepper. :)

    This device is not gonna help you really, + it is really boring. if you are looking to lose weight you should buy an elliptical or a treadmill and some heavy weights.

    Go for a walk, ride a bike, or run. I wouldn't waste your time with that contraption.

    Actually, it does work. I used it a couple of years back for 30 to 45 mins a day for a month and i shed about 5 lbs. It's just that I find it safer to work out at home rather than walk at night in my neighborhood.

    To put it out there for anyone lurking - Losing weight is dependent on a calorie deficit. Exercise is for fitness. The rocking stepper thingy isn't what led to a 5lb loss.
