Izzo Smooth Swing

Advantages: Small and easy to store - gives cardiovascular work out

...and wellbeing, I needed to find a way to do it. I considered jogging but in the winter in the rural area where I live it is quite dangerous along the narrow country lanes so I discounted that in much the same way as I did cycling for the same reasons. I do not like swimming so that really only left either joining a gym or exercising at home. I have done both in the past and I was quite good at being a regular attender at the gym however there isn't one nearby and the half an hour journey there and back would put an hour onto my day before doing any exercise which meant I was left with considering exercise at home. So I looked around for something to meet my needs - it needed to be compact and easy to store, not too expensive, easy to use, not too noisy and effective. The One Body Side Swing Mini Stepper...
