A stair climber is a set of revolving stairs with handrails. Essentially a mini escalator, it acts as a never ending flight of stairs. You can adjust the speed of the machine, so you can set a workout intensity which is appropriate for you. Since stair climbing is a weight bearing enterprise, you’ll be working your whole lower body simultaneously (Quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes). The climbing motion also raises your heart rate, improving your cardio stamina and endurance, and is good for your posture. Suitable for all fitness levels, a stair climber makes a great addition to any gym. What a terrific way to lose weight and burn fat!
