Stepper � Fitness Equipment � How Do I Step?

If you're not sure how to use a stepper, see below for a comprehensive guide.

A stepper is one of the best pieces of fitness equipment that you can buy. The key component to a stepper is that you can run up flights of stairs without the hassle of people getting in the way. Plus, you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home to do it. Steppers provide the perfect opportunity to tone up and can be a very enjoyable experience if you have self-motivation and a willingness to exercise.

Steppers are the perfect piece of fitness equipment to buy because they are easy to store and don't even take up very much room when in use. Steppers are also relatively cheap to purchase, particularly when you consider the money you could spend hiking off to the gym every day. Steppers allow you the freedom away from the intensity of a gym where you only have a certain amount of time on the fitness equipment before someone is stood waiting for it.

Many people are unsure how to use a stepper correctly, so below are a few tips on how to get started on your fitness equipment to produce the maximum results.

Starting Up � Make sure that when you stand onto the equipment, you hold on to the handrails, keeping your posture as straight as possible. Place your feet on the pedals and you're ready for a fitness work out!

Inputting Data � The stepper will ask you for a range of information before its ready to start up. This is to ensure that you get the maximum amount of fitness from your equipment, and that the program chosen is the right one for your specific needs. The machine will ask you to input your weight, the level you require (level 1 being the easiest level), the time you wish to exercise, how far you want to step, your age and also your sex.

Programming � after inputting the specific data above into your stepper, you will get the option to choose a specific programme. The most common programs are Manual, Hill or Random.

Exercising � Use the stepper in the same way that you would walk up some stairs, after all, this is essentially what the fitness equipment is substituting. If you find that the level you have picked is too easy then you can adjust it by using the �up� or �down� arrow keys on the screen.

Things To Remember Whilst On The Stepper:

• Do not skip the warm up � it's important to warm up your muscles prior to exercise to avoid any straining.

• Don't skip the cool down as you body recovers better after a work out when the intensity is slowly reduced on the fitness equipment.

• Try not to lean on the fitness equipment as this can hold back your progress and also, more importantly, can lead to injury.
