The Stairmaster Stepmill 7000 PT offers, in my opinion, the best workout you can achieve, whether in the gym or in your basement. Stepmill combines the ease of walking on a treadmill with an intense lower body workout. When you see the machine in the gym, you will notice that this piece of equipment is usually the largest exercise machine, but don’t let this size intimidate you when using this fantastic exercise machine.

I have to be honest and mention that before my review I had never given the Stairmaster Stepmill 7000 PT a second look because I didn’t really understand how to use the machine and I didn’t want to look like an idiot trying to use this. piece of gym equipment.

I was wrong, this machine is very easy to use and provides detailed information on your training. You can walk between 24 and 162 steps per minute and there is a quick start button that makes it easy to get on and off. Be careful though because if you haven’t used this machine when you click the quick start button you will need to program the initial speed of your steps and I automatically made the machine run at 100 steps per minute, big mistake. I quickly reduced the speed, which is very easy to do on this machine, to about 40 steps per minute.

This allows you to warm up at a decent pace without killing yourself, and at first you don’t think the training is really special. You feel like you are climbing a ton of stairs and within 5 minutes you really start to feel the burning in your lower legs. It is not a serious burn where you feel pain, a burn where you can feel muscles working in areas that have not been used before. A list of your data is constantly displayed on the LED display directly in front of you. Everything from the number of steps you’ve taken, to the number of floors you’ve climbed, to what that equates to miles walked.

The Stairmaster Stepmill 7000 PT also provides a heart rate monitor so you can stay in your comfort zone or challenge yourself. I was pleasantly surprised and have now added new gym equipment to my arsenal of training machines. This has now dwarfed all of my other training machines because I didn’t have the knee pain that I had from the treadmill and I burned almost twice as many calories as using the elliPTical for the same amount of time.

So next time you hit the gym or are looking to invest in a great exercise machine, give the Stairmaster 7000 PT a shot and I think you will absolutely enjoy the benefits for many years to come, now get out there and exercise.
