Stamina Extended Stride Elliptical/Stepper

Detailed Description for Stamina Extended Stride Elliptical/Stepper

The Extended Stride Elliptical/Stepper is compact to fit in smaller workout areas than many Ellipticals yet still gives you the stride you need for a complete workout. The moving handlebars add an upper body workout to your cardiovascular fitness program both in Elliptical Mode and Stepper Mode.

In Elliptical Mode, you get a workout that is a unique blend of stair climbing, cycling, skiing, and walking all together in one movement. In forward motion, your quadriceps, buttocks, lower abdominal, hips and thighs are targeted. In reverse motion, your hamstrings, lower buttocks, hips, thighs, and calves are targeted.

The Stepper Mode works the same muscle groups with a vertical motion. For best results, exercise regularly and take big steps without leaning on the handrails. For a more difficult workout, let go of the handrails every now and then being careful not to lose your balance. You'll burn up to 20% more calories.

Switching your machine between Elliptical mode and Stepper mode is quick and easy.
The console keeps you motivated by displaying workout time, RPM, speed, distance, calories burned, and heart rate. Adjust the intensity level anytime during your workout by turning the tension knob.

Both Elliptical and Stepper modes give you a non-impact aerobic workout that firms and tones your buttocks, hamstring, quadriceps, thighs and calves while improving the condition of your heart and lungs. Working within your target heart rate zone will improve your cardiovascular system and maximize your fat burning potential. A heart rate monitor will ensure that you work within your target heart rate zone.
