Nu Step

Had not heard of it, googled it & see it's a recumbent elliptical machine, is that what you are asking about? From comments, looks like it's used in rehab environments, also looks quite expensive...walking daily would be a lot cheaper.

I had this exercise when I was in rehab for my knee replacement and I loved it. My husband bought it for me and yes it is expensive. I was wondering if it is a good exercise to help with weight loss? I can't walk too long because I have a bad back and I can't stand for too long.

Anything you like that gets you moving more is great. Weight loss is mostly made in the kitchen though. Adding exercise can help create a bigger calorie deficit, and health benefits are a given.

My parents have one and they use it daily. It will help you strengthen your leg muscles and increase cardio. it's more like a leg press machine with moving arm handles. Agree that weight loss happens in the kitchen, but you can't go wrong with building muscle, this increases your metabolism as well as make you look smaller!!
