Jumping on new equipment at the gym can be terrifying. So scary that many of us don’t even try. I’ve personally seen things at the gym and had to look at the picture example exercises on it for a solid 5 minutes just to figure out where to even start. The stairmaster and I have a bond I'm on that thing for 25-45 minutes everyday sweating more that I even knew was possible, toning my legs, building my stamina and working on my gluteus (Problem Area for most)
Stair climbing benefits:
- WEIGHT LOSS:
- Stair climbing uses the largest muscles in your body to continuously carry your own body weight up throughout the entire workout which means more calories burned!
- TONES LOWER BODY
- This was something I found to be especially true after continuously using the stair master. With every step you take for 20-30 minutes you are engaging your calves, glutes, quads, and hamstrings to burn fat and build lean muscle mass.
- STRONG CORE
- After a while of having steps spitting out at you it’s easy to want to fold over and rest your upper body on the machine, BUT if you remain upright and activate your core you also train all those core muscles while training your lower body!
- EASY ON YOUR JOINTS
- The step after step motion is great because it’s a hard workout but it is not hard on your joints. Regardless of how slowly or how quickly the stairs are moving you are still getting in a very beneficial workout. Compared to the treadmill which is much more impact on your body and doesn’t offer the same benefits at a slower pace.
- EFFICIENT:
- If you are going to work out you definitely want to make it worth your while. The stairs allow you to accomplish cardio, toning, and muscle building all at once!
