I would not expect those mini stair steppers to do anything significant fitness-wise. You'd get a better workout from mixing in some jogging with your walking on the treadmill, adding some calisthenics to your pilates routine, and/or getting some weights to do some basement workouts. This starter set is the same price as the mini stepper, and you can buy more 1-inch plates as you get stronger: https://www.amazon.com/CAP-Barbell-52-5-Pound-Adjustable-Dumbbell/dp/B07VWSNZ7T
