Stepper

On the stepper, you mimic the movement of climbing stairs and can achieve a burn of around 700 kcal per hour with a body weight of 70 kg. These are ideal conditions for intensive fat loss. At the same time, you train all your leg muscles, and the problem area "glutes" is always in focus with the stepper.

What are the benefits at a glance?
- High fat burning
- Strengthening of all leg and gluteal muscles
- Individualized workout thanks to freely selectable pedal resistance

Which muscle groups are worked?
With the stepper, you train all leg, hip, and gluteal muscles. Both feet always maintain firm contact with the pedals: unlike regular stair climbing, this creates a fluid stepping motion and minimizes the risk of injury.

What types of steppers are available?
Dependent steppers:
On these machines, the pedals are interconnected and influence each other's movement. Ideal for beginners. Independent steppers:
The pedals move independently of each other. This requires higher coordination during the movement, making the workout even more effective.

What should you keep in mind during training?
When used and loaded correctly, the stepper is suitable for everyone, including overweight individuals. The machine is also excellent for preparing for walking and jogging. For an optimal workout, you should definitely keep the following points in mind:

The height
the stepping height should be within the range of a normal stair step, between 15 and 20 centimeters.

Pay attention to
a stable stance on the pedals. Depending on your height, you stand on the step surface with your entire foot or only with the balls of your feet.

Work out
an upright posture. The handlebars at the front or sides of the machine will help you with this.

Do not deviate
avoid buckling your knees inward or outward during the movement. Your knees should always remain aligned with your toes.

Avoid
avoid letting the pedals hit the top or bottom stops.

Tip for advanced users
Workout hands-free without handlebars; this enormously increases the effect through greater coordination demand. However, make sure that you keep your body upright even then.
