How to choose a stepper for weight loss?

limited space, while full-sized – convenient
use only when there is enough in the house
places where to place it.
The second thing to pay attention to when buying is the choice.
between dependent and independent pedal travel.
If in the first cases the movement of the pedals occurs according to the principle “
ala ”bike, that is, when one pedal is at the top, then the second
necessarily below. In the second version of the pedal movement between each other
not interconnected, which is much more effective for more complete
working out the muscles of the legs, because you can adjust the load separately for
each of the pedals.
Additionally increase the effectiveness of classes on stepper
functions such as LCD monitor, computer programs will help
workouts (regulates the frequency of the step and the load), stand for
water bottles (for full-size models).
Also, it would not be superfluous to pay attention to the brand of the manufacturer,
Read the warranty, the possibility of repair and return.
How to organize exercises with stepper?
As with any simulator, in order to get
maximum benefit and avoid possible injury when performing
exercise, you must maintain proper posture and posture during
use of the simulator.
Only when you will adhere to the following
rules, you will get the most optimal result:

- control the exercise of both legs
the entire range of motion, not just when going up.

warm up the muscles of the thighs and calves to avoid muscle spasms.
- Do not chase the number of repetitions (no longer means that
better), and pay attention to the correct implementation of each of
of them.
The stepper is definitely one of the best cardiovascular machines for
burning extra weight but assuming that you use it
right.
Start your workout with a 5-7 minute workout. You are taking
minimum tempo and load level, focus on
synchronize your movements and maintain the correct posture.
Let your muscles warm up enough, and your heart get used to
load. Gradually increasing the pace of movement, go to
basic workout.
You will get maximum efficiency of exercises with stepper,
when your pulse will lie within 65-75% of the maximum
allowable (maximum = 220 – age). In this corridor
values of the rate of metabolic processes in the body most
optimal for burning fat tissue. To control the pulse better
just purchase a quality heart rate monitor on your wrist or
forearm.
Finishing the workout, the last 5-7 minutes, go back to
slow pace so that your heart rate stabilizes.
Also within one class with a stepper for weight loss you
