Product Information - Cost and Features

You will discover that the StairMaster SC916 is a club-style stair stepper. When you do use it, you will find, as many others have found, that there are many features to love in the Nautilus-brand stair stepper. You will especially appreciate it when training for arduous tasks like climbing real mountains, getting a fireman's badge and running a triathlon.

First, the leveling foot pedals and side handrails combine to lessen stress on the knees and ankles, which is very important in even a low-impact exercise. Plus, the precise pedal descent allows for exercising based on present capacity. Just adjust the speeds anywhere from 26-174 steps per minute and you're set to go climbing stairs without actually being on one.

Second, the 10 workout programs available serve the two-fold function of customizing stair stepper training based on fitness goals and of warding off boredom from the same motion done in the same speed. Thus, you can choose to mix up your workout with programs ranging from manual to heart rate zone training.

Third, the LCD console keeps tracks of steps made, calories burned, time spent and other useful information from a compatible Polar heart rate transmitter, which is a great way to motivate yourself, too. Or users can add a 15-inch television for entertainment while on training.

Fourth, for exercise accessories like water bottle and towel, the accessory tray appears to be sufficiently wide to hold them all in within easy reach. It definitely beats having to carry a water bottle and towel while going up and down a 10-story building.

With these features, it's easy to see how the StairMaster SC916 remains to be one of the more popular machines in the gym despite the decline in overall popularity of stair steppers.

Product Usage Tips

Then again, the StairMaster SC916 will only yield good results when it is used properly. It's just an exercise machine, after all! Anyways, to secure optimum benefits from a stepper climber, exercisers are advised to adapt the following measures:

- Stand upright, maintain good posture and pull abs firmly in while on the stepper. Doing otherwise defeats the purpose of the cardiovascular training, not to mention place unnecessary stress on the knees and the spine.

- Use the handrails only for light support. If you are gripping it too tightly, adjust the resistance and speed levels.

- Always keep your entire feet on the pedals. Injuries can happen when any part of your feet oversteps the boundaries.

- Step with sufficient range of motion depending on the speed and resistance levels.

In conclusion, the StairMaster SC916 is an excellent exercise machine for those wishing to engage in low-impact activity whilst burning up calories and building up endurance.
