Step Mill

A cardiovascular exercise performed on a machine where you "climb" continuously revolving stairs, simulating stair climbing.

Instructions

• Step onto the step mill and set your desired speed.
• Hold onto the rails lightly for balance but not too tightly.
• Maintain an upright posture, looking forwards.
• Use a natural stepping motion: place your whole foot on each step and push thru the heel as you rise.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaning too heavily on the rails.
• Looking down at your feet or machine console.
• Using only the toes to push off.
• Using too fast of a speed resulting in poor form.
