What Are the Benefits of Using a StairMaster?

Gyms have many exercise machines, including the StairMaster. The StairMaster works the lower body’s muscle groups and it also helps with physical fitness and weight loss.

 

Lose Weight

One reason to use the StairMaster is to lose weight. Using the StairMaster helps you burn calories, and over a period of time you will burn enough calories to lose weight. Regular exercise with the StairMaster combined with a healthy diet can contribute to significant weight loss.

 

Improve Cardiovascular Fitness

The StairMaster improves cardiovascular fitness by increasing your heart rate. If you exercise at least 30 minutes three times per week with the StairMaster you will improve your cardiovascular fitness and reduce your risk of cardiovascular health problems.

 

 

Tone Lower Body

The StairMaster targets the lower body’s muscles, including the legs and buttocks. With just a few weeks of consistent use, your thighs and buttocks will be more toned and tightened.

 

Increase Balance

The StairMaster is a great piece of equipment if you want to improve balance. The machine has two pedestals that you stand on and manually move through leg motion. Standing on these moving platforms requires balance, and the more you practice the better your balance will become.

 

Rehabilitation

The StairMaster has been used to help individuals regain or improve use of their knees and/or hips after surgery or injury.
