Exercise Stepper

Exercise Steppers are a great cardio workout that will help tone and shape your legs and backside. These machines provide a low-impact workout that approximates climbing flights of stairs. Some machines have devices to work arms, too.

Beginners may find Exercise Stepper machines strenuous, and the motion can be hard on the knees. Look for machines that provide independent foot action and are equipped with handrails and large stair platforms. They can be very strenuous, but will help you get in shape.

Exercise Steppers are very popular at gyms. Prices vary greatly (from a few hundred dollars to thousands), depending upon whether the machine is motorized or programmable or has add-ons, such as devices to measure heart rate, calories burned, time elapsed, etc. You may want to opt for a machine that offers information to help you track your intensity from day to day, such as calories burned in a given time or METs.
