Stairmaster – Stepping it up
StairMaster is the manufacturer of many types of exercise products, but they are mostly known for their step mills or steppers as they are often called. Once upon a time, before the onslaught of exercise products, one would use the stairs to get a workout - up three, down three, up two, down two, up one, down one. The action was repeated ten times until you felt capable of upping the sequence. In 1983, the first StairMaster, the Tri-Tech, was put on the market; it was a rotating stair mechanism designed to emulate stair climbing.
Moving
Right Along
Although there are various models of step mills, all are usually referred
to as the Stairmaster, and all produce remarkable results with minimal
muscle pain, when used properly. This exercise product not only firms
up your muscles, but it is also kind to your lungs and easy on your heart,
bringing health and wellness to your being. It maintains the same benefits
as basic stair climbing, but offers many more options. For instance, some
models include motivation programs, a heart rate monitor, and a staircase
speed feature, which allows you to choose the number of stairs you wish
to climb in a minute; hence, the intensity of fitness level is up to you.
