Benefits of Step Climbing For those who are serious about losing weight and burning more calories in less time, step climbing offers a great way to achieve those goals by enabling versatile indoor fitness programs. As well as the obvious cardiovascular benefits, step climbing also does the following:
- Uses More Muscle Groups Than Treadmills:
- Gluteus (Medius & Maximus)
- Piriformis
- Illio-Psoas
- Fascia Latae
- Illio-Tibial Bands
- Hip Flexors
- Trunk Stabilizers
- Gives a Larger Range of Movement Than Other Exercise Machines
- Improves Joint Flexibility and Joint Nutrition
- Improves Trunk (Core) Stability
- Improves Balance, Coordination and Mobility
Stepmill climbing is also considerably more beneficial than forms of step up / step down exercise, as it greatly reduces stress on the joints, especially knees. The joint loading in stepping down is approximately 21/2 times that in stepping up.
Do The Famous "Empire State Run-Up" Without Leaving Home A treadmill will simulate a run in Central Park, but only a stepmill can match the stair climb up Manhattan’s most famous landmark! The strength of gravity coming down on your body as you resist it and climb upward is why the Empire State Run-Up is the ultimate fitness challenge. And a stepmill is not the same as a “stair climber.” A stair climber attempts to mimic the natural movement of your feet by use of a linear sliding motion of its narrow foot plates. On a stepmill you climb free on the full width steps of a never ending staircase with your feet moving in their own natural way.
YOU SET THE PACE – from 1 step every 2 seconds to sprinting at 120 steps per minute. YOU SET THE GOAL – program total time, floors or calories.
