HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is one of the most effective training methods for burning fat, increasing endurance and improving fitness.
The StepMaster — with its intense, continuous climbing motion — is ideal for HIIT, as it activates large muscle groups and raises your heart rate faster than the treadmill or bike.
⚙️ What is HIIT?
