The Stepmill workout is the same as climbing up the stairs, but using stepmill, you can set the speed, resistance level and use some handy features which vary from model to model. The most popular stepmills are Stairmaster stepmills. Stairmaster brand has the biggest part of stepmills and StairClimbers market. Unlike treadmills, stepmills is quite an expensive type of running machines and the cheapest new stepmills are about $2000-$2500 unless you buy used stepmill. In the list below, I’ve put stepmills and some Stairclimbers, because people sometimes want to get a Stairclimber, but they actually meant stepmills. It happens due to a little information on the internet and some confusion articles you may read before buying a stepmill or a stairclimber. A stepmill looks like stairs powered by the motor of the machine while a stairclimber has two pedals that move independently. I also put Total Body Exerciser which can develop whole your body, not just only legs.
