Bila saya baca artikel ni, semakin bersemangat rasanya nak exercise menggunakan stepper..insyaallah..caiyok..
According to a study by Dr. James
Levine that was reported in the "British Journal of Sports Medicine,"
you could burn 100 calories per hour using a stepper. Stepping machines
are very popular in gyms, but they can be too bulky for those wishing to
exercise at home. A mini stepper is a smaller, portable version of this
machine.
Mini Stepper
A
mini stepper machine is constructed from a lightweight steel tube frame
and is approximately two feet in length. It has two foot plates with a
grippy rubber surface on which to stand. Using your legs, downward
pressure is applied to each plate with a variable hydraulic pump
underneath providing the resistance. This low impact movement simulates
climbing stairs.
Toned Thighs
A
mini stepper has a vertical, up and down motion. This motion uses the
muscles of the legs, in particular the quadriceps, says fitness expert
Tina Juan. Advanced mini steppers also feature a twisting action of each
foot plate. According to Diet and Fitness Resources, this movement
enhances your thigh toning workout by engaging more of the muscles in
your thighs, trimming the inner thighs and toning the outer thighs.
Toned Butt
The
butt, or the glutes, as it is often referred to, is made up of three
muscles. The gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius and the gluteus
minimus. Exercising on a mini stepper works all three of these muscles
together, as they are activated when you press your feet down on the
plates. To enhance your glute shaping efforts, Muscle and Fitness Hers
suggests pushing through your heels instead of the balls of your feet
when stepping.
Improved Cardiovascular System
Exercising
regularly on a mini stepper can greatly improve your cardiovascular
system and fitness. If the use of hand weights is included, both upper
and lower bodies can be exercised at the same time. Stepping up and down
while pumping hand weights is a low impact form of total body aerobic
exercise, says the U.S National Library of Medicine.
Considerations
Mini
stepper machines are generally designed for home use and are not found
in most gyms. Many people require the energetic atmosphere of a busy gym
for motivation and find exercising at home a challenge. This should be
taken into consideration when determining possible results.
