Lately, we have been upgrading our gym equipment<\/strong>. After listening to our community, we decided to bring in more traditional gym machines<\/strong>. That way, our clubs can keep their functional fitness core while being more inclusive to all gym goers<\/strong>. Among our new equipment, you’ll find the hip thrust machines, the leg press, the multipower smith machines<\/a>, the back benches, the curl leg extension machines<\/a> and the stair climber machine<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve almost certainly noticed it, but you probably avoided it for one reason: the stair climber machine isn’t exactly the most alluring cardio equipment in a gym<\/strong>. After all, it looks just like regular stairs. Don’t let appearances fool you, though; the stair climber has plenty of health and fitness benefits to reap in your next workouts. <\/strong>Here are 7 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of the stair climber machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1 – Lower body and booty power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you know that wobbly sensation after a great leg day session? A stair climber can give you that and plenty more<\/strong>. You’ll work your glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves using just one machine. It’s no coincidence this machine is a favourite among gym goers that want to tone their butt. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2 – Easy to learn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’re sure you climbed a set of stairs before. So, that’s it \u2014 you’re fully ready to use this machine. Stair climbing is like riding a bike: once you learn it, you’ll never forget it. <\/strong>Keep up with the movement of the stairs, and don’t forget to maintain your chest up, your shoulders back, and your back straight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3 – Great cardio workout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not sure if the stair climber will provide a good\u00a0cardio workout<\/a>? Hop in and start climbing: we promise that you’ll feel your pulse rising and your breathing increase after just a few minutes on it. This machine improves your overall fitness but also your heart health<\/strong>. A\u00a0recent study shows<\/a>\u00a0that a stair climber can help you drop your cholesterol and improve your VO2 max<\/strong> (a measurement that shows how efficiently your body uses oxygen).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4 – Easy on the joints<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good cardio workout doesn’t have to take a toll on your joints. The stair climber machine can provide you with a low-impact cardio alternative<\/strong>, especially if you work out at a moderate pace and use the side handles to distribute weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5 – Burns calories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone burns calories differently \u2014 it depends on your age, weight and metabolic rate. Nonetheless, stair climbers have proven to be great calorie torchers. A study from <\/strong>Harvard Health Publishing<\/strong><\/a> showed that this machine helps you burn 180 to 250 calories in just half an hour<\/strong>. How great is that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6 – Improves balance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You climb stairs in your daily life, so you know that you need to briefly balance on one leg to do so<\/strong>. That alone will help you improve your coordination<\/strong>. Plus, climbing stairs demand you use your core muscles, an essential body part for good balance<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

7 – You can get creative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At a first glance, climbing stairs may seem simple and a bit boring. However, once you’re comfortable, the stair climber machine gives you plenty of chances to get creative<\/strong>. You can climb by doing squats, sumo steps or even raising your legs alternatively<\/strong>. It all depends on your goals and on how you prefer to train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ready to reap these benefits? Go to your local EVO club<\/a>, jump on and start climbing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
