As with almost all fitness equipment, there is no one model for the stepper. In fact, there are three main types available on the market, each with different features:
Mini-Stepper: The Mini-Stepper is a particularly compact design. This allows it to fit anywhere, even in small apartments, when it is not needed. Classic mini steppers are available both with and without a training computer.
Side-Stepper: In terms of design, side-steppers are similar to the classic mini-stepper. The big difference is that the stepping motion is not only vertical. Depending on the model, the step deviates to the side in a V-shape. This in turn means that the buttocks and the adductors on the inside of the thighs are subjected to greater strain.
Cross-Stepper: Classic steppers do not require any superstructure. The cross stepper, on the other hand, is significantly larger. In addition to being driven by a flywheel, it has comfortable handles for a particularly pleasant and ergonomic workout. In addition, cross-steppers are suitable for particularly ambitious recreational athletes due to their numerous training options.
