About StairMaster / Stair Climber

The StairMaster and stair climber machines simulate continuous stair climbing, delivering a high-intensity lower body and cardiovascular workout. A 155-pound person burns approximately 332.0 calories in 30 minutes, making it one of the most effective calorie-burning gym machines available.

Stair climbing strongly activates the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves while elevating heart rate into high aerobic zones. It is lower impact than running while providing comparable cardiovascular and calorie-burning benefits. Avoiding leaning heavily on the handrails maximises the workout intensity.
