Using a Stepper machine is an effective way to burn calories. According to Free Dieting, an hour long workout may burn up to 475 calories in a 165lb individual. Stepper machines also build muscle and increase definition in leg muscles. Try to find a Stepper that works within your space limits and supplies enough built-in resistance settings to keep your exercises interesting.

 

NordicTrack MTN Stepper

An article published in “The L.A. Times” recommends the NordicTrack MTN 740 model, saying it is an excellent Stepper for people who like having many features on their machines. This model comes with built in exercises that prevent user’s stepper routines from becoming tedious, as well as built in fans which keep the user cool during the most strenuous parts of a workout. This Stepper also takes heart-rate measurements, which allow users to keep track of how many calories they burn during their exercise session.

 

StairMaster FreeClimber Stepper

The article published in “The L.A. Times” also recommends the StairMaster FreeClimber 4200 PT model for avid stepper enthusiasts. The machine is robust and quite like commercial steppers found in professional gyms. The Stepper comes with four built in workout programs, and is actually one of StairMaster’s lower-priced models. The machine also comes with water bottle and music player holders. The resistance is easily adjusted; users simply push a button to make the exercise more challenging.

 

Free Motion Stepper

Fitness Equipment Source recommends the Free Motion Stepper, which was also designed by NordicTrack. The s5.6 model comes equipped with movable handles which incorporate an upper-body movement in to your Stepper exercise routine. This machine has twelve resistance levels and a variety of different electronic workouts. The Stepper also has a built in sound system which allows users to listen to their music and stay motivated during exercise sessions. The Free Motion Stepper takes up more space than the previously mentioned models, so it might not be the best fit for people with small gym areas.
