Step your way to a tighter, more toned body with steppers from UBench
If you have recently climbed more than a handful of steps, you know how quickly the burn sets in. Steppers – also called stair climbers or step machines – provide an excellent cardio workout with an incredible array of benefits. If you’re looking to elevate your workout game, read on to find out more.
A comprehensive cardio workout
One of the biggest benefits of steppers is the high level of calories it burns. In just half an hour, you can burn anywhere from 180 to 260 calories, depending on how hard you push yourself. If you’re on the heavier side, you’ll gain even more from steppers, as the more you weigh, the more calories you burn on the step machine.
Steppers are heart-healthy too, strengthening your heart and lungs. This helps you exercise even harder, allowing your body to better take in and utilise oxygen while you’re working out.
Improved strength & toning
It’s no secret that steppers are great for toning your glutes and thighs, but did you know that they work a lot of other muscles too? Not only will your calves, hamstrings and quadriceps get a great workout, but your core will be strengthened as well. This is because you need to keep your balance while you’re climbing, leading to improved posture, reduced lower back pain and a lower risk of injury.
As this is a weight-bearing exercise, your bones will become healthier as well. This makes steppers a great exercise choice for seniors, as it can treat osteoporosis symptoms and reduce the risk of developing the disease if you don’t have it.
