the home exercise equipment is going to be equipment that you actually use.  If you're very out of shape and are just starting out, an advanced stepper may be more advanced than you're ready to handle.  A treadmill might be easier; then again, if you have problems with your knees and ankles (as many overweight people do) then an elliptical machine may be better since it has no impact.
