JK @contentandwell I thought it was a little spendy at $279 myself but after receiving it and using it the past week I feel it is money well spent for me. It's really well made and I love the storage bag it comes with...really nice canvas bag. I may invest in a couple of walking sticks so I don't have to bend over using it when relying on something to help with the balance. I've raised my walker as high as it goes but I still have to bend over to use it. I have to pick it up when I'm done because I've got 2 cats that still have claws and could wreck it quickly clawing the soft stretchy cover.
Today's my fasting day on my intermittent fasting schedule so no breakfast or lunch to give me the 16+ hours of fasting. I had my coffee and then used the SandDuneStepper for 30 minutes which bumped up my steps to 3407 for the day so far. I usually end up with between 6 to 7,000+ steps a day if I've done my exercises and daily to do's.

@johnbishop Thanks for your input. I do have a hiking stick that I used to use when we went to Maine, the terrain there was very rough, but I also have a walker from when I had TKRs and for me that would probably be high enough -- I'm shrinking daily.
One of the advantages of your stepper is that you can easily tote it around to any room you want to use it in, and store it easily. I could use it in our family room when watching TV, or if my husband is watching something I don't care for I can use it upstairs.
I will wait a bit longer to see how you are doing with it, or I will buy a treadmill which of course would be more expensive than the SandDuneStepper. Decisions, decisions.
Good luck with your intermittent fasting. How many days a week do you do that? I think it is not recommended for some people and I but I can't remember why. Probably if you have diabetes but at this point, with an A1c under 5, my diabetes seems to be in remission.
