Steppers

Steppers are a great low impact workout focusing predominately on your legs. Steppers come in a variety of options from manual ones to advanced computer controlled options. The more you are prepared to pay for your stepper the more features you tend to get. Steppers vary from little ones that can be stored in the bottom of your wardrobe to bigger steppers that provide a thorough low impact workout; these steppers also have bars that you can hold onto so you are getting a more comfortable workout. There are a few important factors you should think of when choosing your stepper:
• Resistance of the stepper
o Computer controlled steppers offer a smoother movement and predictable changes in movement. Many steppers that are computer controlled come with a variety of programmes and monitor your heart rate, calories burnt and number of steps climbed.
o Cylinder driven steppers are less expensive than computer controlled steppers but more cumbersome to use. You have to turn a dial on this stepper to alter resistance, these steppers will measure the length of workout and calories burnt among a few other things.
