FAQs about steppers

Here we answer the most frequently asked questions about the functioning and quality of steppers.

What good are steppers?

Steppers are perfect for training at home. With them you can simulate the positive effects of climbing stairs without having to look for stairwells all day. You simply determine the training time individually. Thanks to its compact size, you can train effectively with the stepper even in smaller apartments.

How does the stepper help you lose weight?

Because you're moving on the stepper during your workouts, you're burning calories. If you burn more calories than you take in, it will help you lose weight. Endurance training on the stepper can therefore support you during a diet. The joint-gentle movement on this device also promotes your cardiovascular system.

What do I have to consider when training with the stepper?

Regardless of whether you want to integrate the stepper into your aerobic exercises or simply want to train your leg muscles by "climbing the stairs" - a firm surface is always important. This is the only way to ensure that the stepper cannot tip over during training and that you use your muscles evenly. Also, when stepping onto the stepper, make sure your feet are firmly planted on the treads. You should also always wear shoes when training with this fitness equipment. So you have a secure footing.

Which muscles can be trained with a stepper?

With a stepper you can train the lower muscle groups in particular, traditionally referred to as "abs, legs, bottom". Exercising not only gives you more muscle in your thighs, calves or buttocks, but also increases skin tightening.

How many calories do you burn on the stepper?

The average value for the stepper is a calorie consumption of around 600 to 700 calories per hour. In practice, however, the training intensity and your body weight play an important role in how many calories tumble during training.

Is a stepper a stepping board?

A typical stepper has hydraulics that ensure that two treads are moved up and down in opposite directions. A step board, on the other hand, is comparable to a step that you place on the floor to exercise.
