The step machine is a gym staple but often overlooked for more popular equipment such as the treadmill and elliptical trainer. Do you want to know why people skip this butt blaster? Probably because it is SO HARD! Nothing will get you sweating like this machine.
Benefits of the Stair Master
1. A great lower body workout that really works the glutes and hamstrings. Other cardio exercises focus more on the quads but not this one!
2.Improve everyday stair climbing. If you find yourself out of breath after running up your stairs at home or work, the stepper will fix that right up!
3. Train for a stair race. The CN Tower has their annual stair climb for the World Wildlife Foundation. To say you climbed all the way up the CN Tower is pretty cool. So start training!
4. A home stepper is quite small and inexpensive and can be moved easily, unlike other cardio equipment. You can step in front of the TV or even out on the deck, depending on your mood.
5. The stepper is a challenging cardio exercise that will improve heart health and burn lots of calories.
When you start out, I suggest hopping on the stepper for only about 10-15 minutes at a time on an easy level. It can take a few tries to get the rhythm and coordination down. Try adding it with 15 minutes on another machine, like the treadmill or stationary bicycle. This is a great way to challenge your body and not get bored by using only one piece of equipment.
Try The Stepper!
