A little closer to your dream body with every step
The stepper offers you a particularly energy-sapping workout, as you burn an extremely high number of calories (around 500 - 700 kcal/hour) under high loads. This is important for losing weight, as your body can only break down fat if you burn more calories than you consume.
To ensure this not only during training, large muscle groups are required. They also increase your basal metabolic rate at rest, so you can lose weight while you sleep. This is also the reason why you shouldn't torture yourself on the stepper at low intensity for a long time, but should prefer short but intensive workouts. This works particularly well on the stepper, as you can not only complete challenging and entertaining interval training sessions, but also train essential muscle groups.
Your basal metabolic rate is significantly influenced by which muscle groups you train. As a simple rule of thumb, you can remember that larger muscles require more energy. This applies perfectly to the stepper, as the gluteus maximus and thigh muscles are really large muscle groups in your body. This makes stepper training particularly efficient and you can lose weight very well with it. Stepper training is even better for losing weight if you have a machine with which you can also train your arms. This works according to the same principle: if more muscles are trained, more muscle mass is built up, which burns more fat.
Healthy weight loss on the stepper - not just for beginners
Unlike cycle and recumbent bikes, which are particularly suitable for beginners to lose weight, intensive training on the stepper is also recommended for advanced athletes to lose weight. No matter what level you train at, you can always lose weight healthily and build muscle at the same time on the stepper. This is important not only because it helps you lose weight efficiently, but also because it gives you a more athletic and attractive physique. In other words, exactly what you want to achieve when losing weight.
