Purpose: This exercise improves cardio fitness.

Benefits: Using this machine reduces excessive pressure to the joints, hence decreasing the risk of impact injuries.

Position yourself on the Stairmaster. Program your routine. Start off easy for a warm up and then vary your program so that you have low, moderate and high intensity exercising (in a random manner, if possible). Continue for the duration you require.

Research has shown that people who spend long periods of time jogging, on treadmills, or stationary bikes, at a relative constant rate of speed, actually lose heart size and fitness. In addition, the body stores more fat to ensure that it can meet the demands of this marathon. But those who do short bursts (1-5 minutes) of intensive exercising and then cool down for another 2-5 minutes have better heart fitness and the muscles of their heart are stronger. Short bursts of intensive exercising have another benefit. The body actually burns more fat and continues to do it for 2-4 hours after the exercise has been completed. This means that your metabolic rate is higher and you will lose fat and be slimmer.
