The Technogym stepper in the cardio zone of the ePORT Mall is designed for training movements similar to walking up stairs. It focuses mainly on the muscles of the lower limbs - the front and back of the thighs, glutes and calves. With proper posture and active work of the torso, the stabilizing muscles of the middle of the body are also involved in the exercise. According to the available data, the specific model of the machine in operation was not clearly identified, therefore the description is prepared generally for the Technogym stationary stepper. The brand also includes the Excite Step and Excite Climb models in its cardio range.

The main advantage of the stepper is the combination of endurance training with significant work of the legs and glutes. The intensity can be adjusted to the tempo and settings of the machine, so the device is suitable for both shorter brisk intervals and longer steady training. The regular rhythm of the steps helps to maintain a smooth movement without the need to change the technique during the exercise.
The stepper is suitable as a standalone cardio activity or as part of a warm-up or fitness training. It is advisable to start at a calmer pace so that the user can adopt a stable step and correct posture. The handles serve primarily for support and balance; transferring too much weight to the hands reduces the workload of the legs. The torso remains upright, the shoulders relaxed and the steps smooth.
Another advantage is the ease of use. After getting on, all you have to do is select the appropriate intensity and focus on uniform movement. The stepper allows you to control the pace of your training well and include it in various programs according to your current goal – from an easy warm-up to a more demanding fitness unit. When exercising, it is important not to skip steps, not to bounce sharply and to adjust the intensity to your current condition. After finishing your training, you can gradually reduce the pace and safely leave the machine.
