BUILD MUSCLE TONE
Stairclimbing provides a targeted workout to the glutes, thighs, hips and abdominals. It works the lower body with a variable resistance, rapid repetition, style of training that moves legs through a complete range of motion, and is a very effective way to create lean, fat—free muscle.

In fact, it is the ultimate calorie burner: stairclimbing is more efficient in blasting calories, meaning that it helps to burn body fat more quickly thereby controlling body weight.

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
Stairclimbing will improve your endurance when doing strenuous activities by working your heart and lungs—it boosts VO2 max, which is the maximum amount ofoxygen used during intense exercise, therefore climbing will help increase the duration and intensity of future workouts.

Stairclimbing strengthens the heart and lungs— the keys to aerobic fitness. Stronger lungs allow you to breathe in more oxygen, and a healthier heart can pump oxygen—rich blood more efficiently to all your muscles and organs.

CORE STRENGTHENING
Whilst stairclimbing, the steps keep coming at you one after another, and after a while, it’s natural to start slouching, but by staying upright, with your core engaged, you are strengthening your abdominals and lower back muscles. The hip action involved in your step tread is also engaging your external obliques and intercostals— this all adds up to a very effective core workout while you’re working the rest of your body.

Because the Escalate requires you to keep your balance the entire time you’re climbing and pumping your legs, it also gives your core muscles a workout. Stronger core muscles help to improve posture, prevent lower back pain, and reduce the risk of injury.

LOW IMPACT
Beyond a great cardiovascular workout, stairclimbing does so without any pounding on the joints. And, because your feet don’t come into contact with the ground that’s great news for your ankles and knees. The Escalate simulates going up real stairs however coming down can be a problem for your knees, but as you are constantly on the upward climb, connective tissue and joints don’t suffer any wear and tear. And, if you’re looking to make your climb more challenging, resistance and incline (20—40°) can be adjusted to allow you to target your training towards strength, muscle gain or weight loss.

Pitting exercisers against the force of gravity, stairclimbing becomes a weight—bearing exercise and in so doing, can enhance bone density making it a great insurance measure against age—related bone conditions such as osteoporosis.
