Reebok Steppers and Climbers
Step aerobics is a great way of losing weight; the introduction of the step ups the endurance of the activity and tones the lower body and abdominal muscles. The extra effort needed to step up and down will raise the heart rate which will burn more calories which is great news for those wanting to lose some weight.
Practising step aerobics will improve balance too which will help improve walking and running as will the improved stamina levels.
The body eventually gets used to the exercise and that is why you can get extra blocks to raise the level of the step to encourage your body to burn even more calories. Many steps come with a number of extra blocks to help you raise your level without having to purchase lots of extra pieces.
One of the key aspects of a step is the grip on the deck, many of the routines involve fast moves over the top of the step and this could cause you to fall if the deck does not have sufficient grip.
Reebok the Original and Still the Best
Reebok were one of the first companies to manufacture a step for use in the gym when it became popular in the late 80’s early 90’s and they are still considered one of the leading brands today.
The steps made by Reebok have always been incredibly durable with a slip resistant deck and that is why they became popular. You could really go for your workout with the confidence that you would not fall over or do any damage to your step.
Different Sizes for Different Uses
If you want to practise your stepping at home and you don’t have too much space then the mini step would be the perfect option. It is simply a compact version of the classic Reebok step; this also makes it ideal for transportation to and from classes.
The step has a non slip coating so that when you are in full swing you won’t slip off the step and injure yourself. This makes some of the movements easier because you will only be concentrating on your movements rather than worrying about slipping over.
The classic step has 3 adjustable heights so you can up your workout and tone up even more.
