Stair Stepper . . . superior calorie burning and muscle-toning

The stair stepper, also called the stair climber, is one of the more challenging pieces of exercise equipment that you can use.

It provides a vigorous cardio workout, exercising your calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, and glutes much harder than most other types of aerobic exercise equipment. (If you've ever climbed several flights of stairs at one time, you can easily imagine how grueling one of these machines can be.)

When most people think of the stair climber, the StairMaster is the first name that comes to mind. However, the Stairmaster is only a brand of stair climbers -- there are many others available.

There are the inexpensive steppers, many designed to be portable and folded away after use. And there are larger, more fully-featured models, such as the Bowflex TreadClimber, a sort of stepper/treadmill hybrid machine.
