Design principle of stair machine

The design principle of the stair machine is based on the action of climbing stairs in our daily life. Because when we do stair climbing, the quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteus maximus on the front of the thigh will all participate in the movement. However, when doing thigh stepping movements on the stair machine, the pressure on our knee joints is much reduced than when climbing stairs. This exercise is very safe and reliable for those with weak knee joints.

The method of using the stair machine for exercise is also very simple. Just step on the pedal and alternate your feet twice, and the machine will automatically display. Then just enter the resistance value according to the training purpose. If you just want to lose fat, you can adjust the resistance to 8-12. Keeping the time at 30-40 minutes will achieve a good fat loss effect. Keep the heart rate between 130-140/minute. If you want to improve your cardiopulmonary skills, adjust the resistance to 6-8 and persist for 20 minutes, and you will have good results. Keep the heart rate between 100-120/minute.
