A treadmill will simulate a run in Central Park, but only a stepmill can match the stair climb up Manhattan’s most famous landmark! Ever thought why the more sophisticated treadmills offer an upward incline? The answer is simple enough. It’s because the cardio benefits of carrying your own weight uphill hugely outstrip those of pounding away on the flat. Gravity is so strong that in climbing just 1 metre, you expend a big 9.8 Joules of energy for every kilogram of body weight. That’s why the Empire State Run-Up is world famous as one of the ultimate fi tness challenges.
And a stepmill is not the same as a “stair climber”. A stair climber attempts to mimic the natural movement of your
feet by use of a linear sliding motion of its narrow footplates. On a stepmill you climb free on the full width steps of
a never-ending staircase, your feet moving in their own natural way.
Why Choose Step Right Up?
The Step Right Up Stepmill is a simple to use piece of fitness equipment that
offers more benefits than a treadmill, requiring less floor space and consuming
less energy. Electromagnetically Braked – Not Motor Driven It is simply the user’s own energy in climbing steps that drives Step Right Up. There is no electrical drive motor, which reduces power consumption to a mere 60 watts – the same as a medium intensity domestic light. Step Right Up’s electronics precisely control an electromagnetic braking system, which regulates machine speed, matching the feed rate of steps per minute to the user’s programmed requirement and personal energy input. Step Lock Safety System
The Step Lock System employs a photo-optic sensor that will automatically
stop the unit if the user exceeds the lower limit of travel. The Step Lock also
enables the user to stand still on the stairs while programming workout
information in comfort.
With a compact footprint, transit wheels for mobility and a ceiling
height requirement of a standard 2.4m/ 8’, Step Right Up becomes
the perfect choice for any Health Club, Rehab Facility or Home Gym. For those who are serious about losing weight and burning more calories in less time, step climbing offers a great way to achieve those goals by enabling versatile indoor fitness programs. As well as the obvious cardiovascular benefits, step climbing also Stepmill climbing is also considerably more beneficial than forms of step up – step down exercise, as it greatly reduces stress on the joints, especially knees. The joint loading in stepping down is approximately 21/2 / times that in stepping up.
A Stepmill, not a “Stair Climber” Stepmills and “Stair Climbers” are like chalk and cheese! Down the years, the name “Stair Climber” has come to be routinely applied to items of equipment where the user stands on two separate treads which move alternately up and down, either vertically or in a steeply sloping path. The feet must thus move along the straight line path of the treads, which is in fact nothing whatever like climbing real stairs!
With a Step Mill the feet can follow their natural curved
stepping up path between treads, thereby enabling far
superior muscle engagement and toning.
