Stepper and ellipsoid difference. Swivel or elliptical: choose the right stepper for the home

On the simulators 

No process of losing weight is complete without physical activity. Stepper helps to get rid of extra pounds and gives the body an excellent cardio load. It not only burns fat, but also tightens the shape, influencing human health in the best possible way.

What is a stepper?

Reviews and results show the effectiveness of this device and note that it helps to a short time lose up to 3 kg per week without significant changes in diet. The device is a cardio machine, which can be used for a long time with minimal intensity. Classes on the stepper remove effectively tighten the muscles of the legs and buttocks, have a secondary effect on the back and stomach, if there are no additional devices, and also strengthen cardiovascular system.

Training here is like climbing stairs. During the exercise, the feet are completely located on the steps of the simulator and alternately press on them, transferring weight from one leg to another. The use of the simulator has practically no contraindications. It is suitable for the elderly and people with diseases of the cardiovascular system. The device prevents the development of arthrosis and arthritis, cures these diseases. Athletes use the stepper during the recovery period after a fracture and bruising of the limbs.

Types of steppers?

The modern market offers a huge range of steppers. Such simulators are divided into several main types:

  • Mini. This is the simplest model of the simulator, but in terms of its effect on the body it is not inferior to other devices. The mini stepper is only equipped with a foot platform (for example, the Torneo stepper). The upper part of the body is practically not affected here, and the main load falls on the legs and The presence of expanders allows you to work out the muscles of the arms and upper part torso.
  • Swivel. They have a built-in turntable and a computer that counts steps, takes into account time, training speed, and calories burned. The stand allows you to work out the muscles of the back, chest, shoulder area, as well as buttocks, calves and legs. This is the most the best option, since the body here receives a uniform load.
  • hydraulic. Due to the built-in cylinders, such simulators create increased tension when walking. A special screw helps to regulate the load.

Also, steppers can be with a dependent pedal stroke and with an independent one. The first option is the easiest and is a platform moving under the influence of the legs, which are connected to each other. Here it is impossible to regulate the load on each limb. In the second case, the pedals on the simulator are not paired with each other. The load is adjustable for each leg. Such a system is used in expensive electromagnetic simulators.

There is also a mechanical and electromechanical stepper. Reviews and training results show that with the help of such devices you can create chiseled legs and tighten flabby forms. The first has liquid cylinders under the pedals that create tension when pressure is applied to the platform. Basically, these are mini-steppers and budget simulators. They are noisy and lack voltage measurement. The second type of stepper creates resistance using an electromagnet. The simulator is powered by electricity, has a low noise range, while the load on each foot is regulated.

Steppers also differ in load, which depends on the weight of the person. The mini version can withstand up to 80-100 kg, the rest are designed for 100-150. Expensive options for steppers have additional accessories. These are swivel pedals that turn slightly from side to side while walking, which allows you to remove body fat at the waist. Another "gadget" is the step counter, which displays the calories lost, the duration of the session and the number of steps taken.

Often steppers are equipped with expanders that give additional load on the upper body, or handrails, which is preferable for persons with impaired coordination of movement. Such devices reduce the load on the spine and knee joints. Some steppers are equipped with levers that need to be moved during exercise. Such a simulator is quite large and takes up a lot of space. Most modern devices are equipped with an electronic scoreboard that displays the number of calories burned during a workout, the number of steps, the duration of the session, heart rate, body fat coefficient and the recovery rate of the body after exercise.

Rules for choosing a stepper

Before buying, you should ask yourself which equipment is designed for what. If you only need to work out the legs, then the mini version is also suitable. For weight loss and tightening muscle tissue it is more appropriate to give preference to the rotary mechanism. Stepper trainers for the home are compact. They are chosen by those who do not have enough space in the apartment. People deliberately refuse a massive device with a handrail, preferring a mini-stepper with expanders, which after class can be hidden in a closet or under the bed. Exercise machines for women, that's what they are sometimes called because of the study of women's problem areas, such as the buttocks and thighs, are able to show excellent results in a short time, but on condition that the workouts are daily.

What simulators are needed for what - we examined, and now let's talk in more detail about their use.

Rules for using the simulator

When exercising on the stepper, you should follow the safety precautions that come with each device. It is important to choose a load that does not cause fatigue or discomfort, but at the same time sufficient to work out problem areas.

When walking on the simulator, the foot must be completely on the pedal. When performing exercises, the knee joints and toes should be directed forward, and the back should be straight. If the device has a handstand, then you should not lean heavily on it, because this will lead to an incorrect distribution of the load.

Before class, warm up for 5-7 minutes. This makes it possible to understand the principle of operation of the device and allows you to choose the appropriate level of load. The exercise should be performed in the mode in which you can safely practice for ten minutes. It is believed that a long uniform load on the legs is much more effective than a minute of the most intense exercise.

The pulse during exercise on the simulator can reach 60-75% of the maximum possible rate of 220 beats per minute. Exercise machines for women working in this mode most effectively burn body fat.

Pros and cons of the simulator

Compared to other devices designed to improve the figure, stepper trainers for home have many advantages:

  • Efficient burning of calories, the amount of which directly depends on the duration of training.
  • Versatility. With the help of the simulator, you can devote time to classes in any convenient place.
  • Compactness. A mini stepper, for example, can easily fit in any handbag if necessary.
  • Daily exercise promotes the production of dopamine, a hormone that helps fight anxiety, nervous tension and depression.
  • The device trains the heart and blood vessels.
  • Provides proper load on the lower body.

A stepper cannot replace a full-fledged physical activity associated with another activity, since the impact this simulator goes only to a certain part of the muscles. All the rest will have to be worked out with the help of other exercises. This is perhaps its only drawback.

Training

Step exercises help to strengthen the muscle tissue of the lower leg, calves, thighs and buttocks. All groups receive a full load. Here, the result depends not only on the intensity and regularity of exercises, but also on adherence to proper nutrition. The model, which has a computer, has built-in training programs. In this case, you do not need to compose a lesson yourself, but just choose the appropriate mode.

So, here are some activities:

  • Step exercises at least three times a week for 30-60 minutes will keep the body in shape. Tangible results will give a workout lasting from 60 to 120 minutes, since intensive calorie burning begins after an hour of training on the simulator. Such loads should be resorted to gradually.
  • Changing the height of the pedals makes the load on the lower body more noticeable. Here, climbing uphill and performing exercises that require much more effort will already be simulated. It is recommended to combine walking with high and low slope steps.
  • A good result is a change in the speed of the exercises, that is, you need to do two minutes at a fast pace, and two at a slow pace.
  • The buttocks will receive an additional load if you squat during the lesson, that is, perform stomps. They do this when the feet come to the same position during movement. At the same time, the pace is chosen slow to maintain balance and avoid falling.

Regular exercises on the stepper will strengthen the cardiovascular system, reduce body fat, prevent the occurrence of a number of diseases associated with physical inactivity, shape the muscles of the legs and hips, and get rid of extra pounds.

Rating of simulators

Thanks to user reviews, the following stepper popularity rating was formed:

  • Torneo Ritmo S-112B. This is the leader among compact mini-steppers. The simulator is small-sized, allows you to work out a number of the most problem areas: hips, buttocks, legs. Such a stepper (a photo of the device can be seen below) is ideal for beginners. Also suitable for those who do not have enough space for sports at home. The Torneo stepper is equipped with a mini-computer. Withstands weight up to 100 kg. Its price fluctuates around 2500-5000 rubles. Got 9 points.
  • Kenturi K5705. This is the most popular stepper with an expander. It allows you to work out the muscles of the arms and legs equally, to perform more diverse exercises than in the first version. There is a mini computer. It has dependent pedal travel. Rating - 8 points. Price - 2700 rubles.

  • Stepper Twister DFC SC-S008. This is the best among rotary simulators. It makes it easy to get wasp waist and In the exercise, not only the legs are involved, but also the body. The Twister simulator is suitable for both experienced athletes and beginners. The device has a built-in mini-computer. Withstands weight up to 120 kg. The Twister simulator has a rating of 9 points. The cost ranges from 5500 rubles to 7000 rubles.
  • Horizon Dynamic 208. This is the best classic stepper. Classes on it resemble climbing stairs, but there is no pressure on vulnerable joints. Suitable for experienced athletes. The mini computer contains 12 individual programs for training. Withstands weight up to 130 kg. Rating - 10 points. The cost fluctuates around 40,000 rubles.
  • Impulse PST300. This is the best among professional steppers. Designed for advanced users and the gym. It has 20 load levels and six individual programs. The stepper, the photo of which is presented in the article, allows you to monitor the pulse during classes. Withstands weight up to 150 kg. Rating - 10 points. Many are interested in how much such a stepper costs. The price varies in the region of 40,000-45,000 rubles.

Depending on what results need to be achieved, how much space is allocated for the simulator, and how much the user has, the appropriate version of the stepper is selected.

Does the exercise machine help you lose weight?

The stepper, the reviews and results after which are quite good, will help you become slimmer, but for this you should practice it for at least 20 minutes every day. With daily loads, weight loss will begin as early as the second or third week. To enhance the effect, you need to revise your diet. The main share in the diet falls on proteins (dairy products, meat, nuts, etc.). All sweets and confectionery should be completely removed from the table. It is worth abandoning the use of flour, pastries, dumplings and pasta. The ban is introduced on alcohol, fast food and soda.

Adjustment of nutrition plus classes on the stepper helps to lose up to 1.5-2 kg per week. As a rule, the weight that is dropped gradually does not return in the future. In addition, you can not eat 1.5 hours before class and after. At this time, you can drink water or fat-free kefir. All steppers, except for the mini version, simultaneously work out almost all muscle groups, therefore body fat goes off evenly.

Contraindications

Despite the fact that the device is designed without a load on the knee joint, the stepper is not recommended for people suffering from joint diseases and problems with the spine. Before training, you should consult with your doctor, especially if you have a pathology of the cardiovascular system. The main contraindication is pneumonia in the acute stage of development and chronic diseases of the pulmonary system.

Price

The pricing policy of simulators is very loyal. Here everyone can find a suitable stepper for their pocket. The price for this type of exercise equipment starts from 2500 rubles (mini-stepper). The cost of professional devices can reach up to 45,000-50,000 rubles.

and results

The simulator showed itself mainly with positive side. People note the monotony of classes. They say that at first it is difficult to do exercises even for 10 minutes, but gradually the duration of the workout increases. It is noted that it is better to warm up the muscles before doing the exercises or to do otherwise the next day the legs will hurt. The simulator helps to lose up to 3 kg per month without changing the nutrition system. Some people claim that if you exercise for more than half an hour, then weight loss will be more noticeable. Also, women noted the disappearance of cellulite, the appearance of elasticity of the buttocks and thighs, the slimness of the legs.

Despite the fact that the stepper is considered a low-impact simulator, some people experience pain in the knee joints after prolonged exercise. Some ladies complain about slow weight loss and pain in their legs. For some, the hips slightly increased, but the weight remained the same.

The stepper is a simulator that promotes not only weight loss, but also health promotion. The main thing when using it is to strictly observe the technique of performing the exercises described in the instructions.


Keeping yourself in good physical shape is not only and not so much a matter of aesthetics as a vital necessity. Especially when it comes to aerobic exercise, which not only tidies up your muscles and normalizes weight, but also has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. But for one reason or another, not everyone can afford to visit regularly. Gym. Fortunately, today it is possible to provide yourself with physical activity without leaving home. To do this, you just need to buy a cardio machine. Let's say a stepper. Or an ellipsoid. Wait a second… So is it a stepper or an ellipsoid?

Despite the similarities, the load and overall work of the muscles on the elliptical trainer and the stepper are significantly different. Although both simulators simulate the load of walking and running, you need to clearly understand for what purpose you are purchasing the device.

Let's compare the strengths and weaknesses of a stepper and an elliptical trainer so that you can decide which is better - an ellipsoid or a stepper, and also pay attention to the specifics of working with these simulators and their effect on the body.

Purpose of the stepper

- Disadvantages of the stepper
The stepper, as already mentioned, very moderately loads the cardiovascular system. But if this is an advantage for a beginner, then for a person more experienced in relation to loads, this can be a disadvantage. The fact is that for a full-fledged aerobic training, the pulse must be maintained in a certain range. On the stepper, in order to bring it to the desired frequency, you have to maintain a high pace of exercise, which not everyone can do.

Ellipsoid. Advantages and disadvantages

- Ellipsoid Advantages
The ellipsoid also has special levers for the hands, which, on the one hand, unload the back, on the other hand, load the arms and shoulder girdle, forcing you to make movements with your hands similar to those when Nordic walking. For people with a large weight, it is important that when using an ellipsoid, there is practically no shock load on the joints, which is inevitable during normal running, when you push off with every step and, especially, when you land. The whole body works.

- Disadvantages of the ellipsoid
Elliptical Trainer requires developed coordination for training. This means that you may need several workouts to get a feel for how to distribute the load and how to move. In addition, almost all models of ellipsoids are rather big, it will not work to hide them in a closet or push them under the bed. And this means that whether you want it or not, the ellipsoid will become an element of your interior. If it fits in an apartment at all. The exception is folding models, but their choice is limited and, as a rule, they are not suitable for everyone. For example, in such models, the maximum allowable weight of the user is often limited.


In general, the stepper and the ellipsoid complement each other perfectly. Therefore, if you have such an opportunity, you should purchase both simulators. If you decide to limit yourself to one of them, we hope that we helped you decide.

How to choose a stepper: all about the parameters

So what is a stepper? The name of the simulator comes from the English word "step", which means "step" in translation. The simulator is a device with two pedals. The stepper pedal, unlike the pedal of a bicycle or exercise bike, has a large area that allows you to put your foot on it with your whole foot.

Steppers differ in a number of ways. First, there are steppers and mini-steppers. In a nutshell about each of the types.

Stepper load type

According to the type of load, steppers are divided into mechanical and electromagnetic.

mechanical stepper

In this stepper, the load is created by sealed cylinders in which pistons move. Hydraulics is good for its autonomy: for the operation of such a simulator, it is not necessary to connect to the mains. Due to this, mechanical loading is often used in mini steppers, which are often transferred from place to place, or in budget models of classic steppers. The disadvantages of this option include the noisy operation of the pistons and the inability to accurately adjust the degree of load.

Electromagnetic stepper

Here, the load is created by electromagnets, which makes it possible to precisely regulate it. This, of course, is an advantage, along with the noiselessness of simulators based on this principle. However, the price for such simulators will be higher than for mechanical ones, in addition, during the training process they require a constant connection to the mains, and they are very gluttonous in terms of electricity and quite bulky.

To close the topic of design features, we mention one more characteristic.

Dependent and independent stepper pedals

All steppers, depending on the pedal travel, are divided into two groups:

Steppers with dependent pedal travel

In such simulators, the pedals are rigidly interconnected by a mechanical connection. If one pedal is lowered, the second one is sure to rise at that moment, in this sense they are similar to exercise bikes. What are good such steppers: they are more reliable, simpler in design. But at the same time, the load is set the same for both legs.

Steppers with independent pedal travel

More versatile, as they allow you to adjust the load for each leg individually. This can be useful if one leg is not fully functional, such as when recovering from an injury. As a rule, such simulators are more expensive.

Some models of steppers are equipped with expanders that allow you to train the muscles of the hands and shoulder girdle.

Summing up

You open the page of the online store and see steppers, which one is better? Perhaps you should choose an ellipsoid? And if, after all, a stepper, then which stepper is more reliable - rotary or classic?

  • For steppers Weight Limit The user is usually limited to 130 kg. If you weigh more, get professional models.

    Treadmill

    Perfect fit those who want to lose weight and develop cardio endurance. Walking for beginners Jogging - advanced involved without health problems.

    Pros. Both running and walking relieve stress, train the heart and lungs. Walking strengthens the calves, and running also strengthens the muscles of the hips, buttocks, abs, shoulders, back ... Of course, provided that you actively work with your hands, and do not hold them on the rails.

    Minuses. Running is prohibited for serious diseases of the heart, lungs, glaucoma. “Because of the strong shock load, running is not suitable for people with severe osteochondrosis, severe scoliosis, flat feet, those who have problems with knee joints, ligaments, menisci,” says Maria Kozachenko, personal trainer fitness club Marina club.

    How to train. To develop endurance: 40 minutes of continuous jogging or walking at a fast pace. For weight loss: 5 minutes - fast walk, 1 minute run, 5 minutes brisk walk, 1 minute sprint. Repeat three times.

    rowing machine

    Perfect fit sports man who does not have time for a full strength training.

    Pros.“Rowing is a combination of aerobic and power load- says Maria Kozachenko. - It makes a lot of muscles work: shoulder girdle, back, legs, buttocks, abs. So you can burn no less calories than on a treadmill, and pump your whole body.

    Minuses. Rowing develops the shoulders, which women are afraid of.

    How to train. Total time- 40-60 minutes, you can alternate the load: 1 minute - at the first level of difficulty, 1 minute - at the third.

    stepper

    Perfect fit sports woman who would like to strengthen problem areas.

    Pros. Partially relieves the load from the back due to the handstands, decently loads the hips and buttocks. “If you keep the body almost vertical when walking on it, the front surface of the thigh is strengthened,” says Maria Kozachenko. - And if you lean forward more, the load falls on rear surface and buttocks."

    Minuses. In order for the pulse to rise to the aerobic zone, you have to rearrange your legs quite quickly: not everyone can keep up the pace. Therefore, it is better to accustom yourself to the stepper gradually, alternating it with other cardio loads. “First, try walking uphill for half an hour, and then walk on the step for 5 minutes with medium resistance,” advises Nikolai Beloded, personal trainer at the Zebra on Avtozavodskaya fitness club. “Over time, increase the number of minutes on the step until you feel that you can withstand half an hour of non-stop.”

    How to train. Repeat for 30 minutes in a circle: 2 minutes - easy walking, 1 minute - walking at the fifth level of difficulty. If it's very easy, go to the fifth level for a couple of minutes longer.

    exercise bike

    Perfect fit those who return to fitness after big break, after injuries, who have problems with the joints of the legs, who want to strengthen the muscles of the thighs and lower legs.

    Pros. The weight of the upper body is on the seat, and the load on the leg joints can be adjusted by changing the speed and resistance. And if you choose a model with a wide seat and back and sit deeper, the back relaxes almost completely. “The main thing is to correctly adjust the seat height before the start: in the lowest position, the leg should be slightly bent at the knee,” says Maria Kozachenko. Pushing and pulling the pedals helps develop the ankle and is good for the knees as well.

    Minuses. It is difficult to lose weight on a cycle: half of the muscles are actually inactive, so you have to pedal quickly and with decent resistance.

    How to train. For newbies: 15-20 minutes with minimal resistance. For those who want to strengthen their leg muscles: regular workouts for 30-40 minutes with medium resistance (level 2-4).

    Elliptical Trainer

    Perfect fit for those who want to lose weight.

    Pros. Like running, it forces the muscles of the whole body to join in the work. But the feet remain on the pedals all the time, so unlike running, there is neither flight nor landing with the inevitable impact that is dangerous for the knees and spine. In addition, you have racks in your hands - “sticks”. Transfer part of the weight to them, actively push them - and you will remove part of the load from the back and legs, forcing the muscles of the shoulder girdle to work. Walking on an ellipse is similar to the Scandinavian, which helps to lose weight better than usual. Running on an ellipse is safe even for obese people.

    Minuses. The ellipse requires good coordination. It may take time to get used to it.

    How to train. 20-30 minutes in mode interval training: 2-3 minutes - easy walking, 1 minute - at the fifth level of difficulty.

    Of course, no cardio machine will help you lose weight or benefit your heart if you only use it for 10-15 minutes. This is only good for warm-ups and cool-downs. A full cardio workout should last at least half an hour, and preferably 40-50 minutes. In order not to get bored, alternate light and heavy loads.

    From time to time change your favorite simulator. If you are fit enough to do any of them, strengthen the muscles of the legs and buttocks on the stepper and exercise bike, the shoulders on the rower, and develop endurance and burn excess fat on the ellipse and treadmill.

    The elliptical trainer, or as it is also called, the ellipsoid, is today the most effective simulator both for home and club use. It allows for efficient and safe workouts Anytime.

    In order to start exercising on an elliptical trainer, it is enough to do a little warm-up for one or two minutes, then just stand on it, grab the levers and start moving. You need to start smoothly, gradually increasing the load for 5-10 minutes.

    Thanks to the load control system, you can choose a workout to burn fat, or a cardio workout to strengthen the heart muscle. Learn how to properly train below.

    The elliptical trainer allows you to involve all the muscles of the body in the work. Classes on it imitate running, the movements are natural and therefore, anyone can practice on it. There are no contraindications.

    Due to the fact that during training the legs move along an elliptical path, the joints and spine do not experience shock loads. This is especially important for overweight people and those who have not exercised for a long time. physical activity. If such people begin to run in the usual way, then the likelihood of injury to the hip, knee, or ankle joints for them increases significantly, as well as spinal injury. The elliptical trainer is ideal for training people who are overweight, those who have not exercised for a long time, those who need to start training smoothly.

    You can run on the simulator "forward" or "backward". Depending on this, we will get a different load on different groups muscles. Hand levers put stress on the upper body. You can work more with your hands than with your feet. Push the lever away from you or perform movements to bend your arms.

    The simulators differ in the type of loading system, long stride, flywheel weight. Remember that the simulator has such a parameter as the maximum user weight. Choose it with a margin of at least 10 kg. The built-in computer facilitates the control of the training process, counts the time, calories, pulse, monitors the excess of the specified parameters, etc. The simulator is almost silent and takes up little space.

    stepper

    Another type of simulator that I would like to talk about is a stepper. This simulator, which simulates running or walking up the stairs. The stepper consists of two pedals and allows you to transfer body weight from one foot to the other. Just like the ellipsoid, it is safe, does not give a shock load to the joints. It helps to train the heart muscle and burns fat on the hips and buttocks very well.

    There are compact "home" models, there are large models with a variety of options for fitness clubs.

    Steppers equipped with handrails allow you to change the inclination of the body. Depending on the position of the back - leaning forward or vertical position - different muscle groups work. Tilt the body forward with an emphasis on the hands, makes the back of the thigh and buttocks work. If you straighten up, the load passes to the front of the thigh.

    As in the ellipsoid, in the stepper, the load is regulated to achieve the required heart rate zone.

    Important rules when working on a stepper

    Do not take your heel off the pedal. The knee should be bent all the time, do not straighten the leg completely - this will protect the knee joint. Do not turn your knees inward, it is traumatic. Do not transfer the weight of the body to the hands - we work with our feet.

    How to train on an ellipsoid or stepper

    Aerobic training on the stepper and ellipsoid are carried out similarly. The ideal time to exercise is in the morning. At this time, the blood contains maximum amount the hormone cortisol, which promotes fat burning.

    If you have already taken strength training, your body is warmed up, the workout is performed in just 20 minutes. A warm body begins to burn fat immediately. This is the most effective method workout.

    If the training is carried out separately, by itself, then it lasts 60 minutes. In the first 40 minutes, the body goes into fat burning mode. Soft entry and exit mode is 10 minutes. Otherwise, the body perceives training as stress and such an activity does not give the expected effect.

    What is the optimal heart rate zone

    For optimal fat burning, you need to bring the body to "work". The heart rate should rise to 60-80% of the maximum allowable for your age. The maximum can be determined by subtracting your age from the number 220. For example, if your age is 29, then your maximum allowed heart rate (HR) would be 191.

    In order to lose weight, people have invented a lot of ways, however, not every method can be considered safe for your health. So, leaving the diet is fraught with problems for digestive system, and there is nothing to say about tablets - helminths are specially added to some of them. The best alternative to these dubious methods is intense training outdoors or at the gym.

    If the rhythm of life does not allow you to attend weight loss classes, you need to buy an elliptical trainer for home or choose a suitable home stepper in the store. These sports equipment will not only allow you to tidy up your physical form: You can watch your favorite TV programs while exercising. But which of these two devices is better for weight loss?

    Both the stepper and the ellipsoid are mechanical simulators that develop the muscles, respiratory and cardiovascular systems of a person. Dealing with these sports equipment, a person simultaneously performs and aerobic training thus effectively burning calories.

    Pros and cons of the elliptical trainer

    Elliptical trainers are more effective than jogging outdoors or running on treadmills. A person, while exercising on an ellipsoid, uses large muscle groups, so an elliptical trainer is an excellent tool for body sculpture, building one's body.

    There are contraindications for jogging: active running load not recommended for overweight people. So, it is known that during running the load on the joints increases by 5-7 times. If you have a weight of 90-100 kg, then the load on the ligaments when running is from 450 to 700 kg. A weightlifter lifting 300kg gets less stress on the knee! At the same time, if you decide to buy an elliptical trainer for your home, you will avoid overload. knee joint, since classes on an ellipsoid exclude foot strikes on the pedal. The disadvantages of the ellipsoid are its large size and relatively high price.

    Advantages and disadvantages of the stepper

    A home stepper is a small-sized exercise machine, the exercises on which are a bit like walking up the stairs. The origin of the name is intuitive: in translation from English into Russian, "step" means "step". aerobic exercise a person loses 250 kilocalories. The effectiveness of the stepper has been proven not only as a tool for losing weight, but also as a projectile for recovering from operations and fractures, treating arthrosis and arthritis. The stepper takes up less space and its price is more affordable compared to elliptical trainer. But the ellipsoid is a more effective and versatile projectile designed for weight loss.
