Amazon.com Product Description:
The ProStep 6000 residential stair-climber delivers a low-impact, non jarring cardiovascular workout in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Unlike other stair-climbing machines, the ProStep 6000 is relatively compact, requiring only an 8-foot ceiling for installation (the initial step-up height is 12 inches while the individual steps are 6 inches tall). The ProStep also offers a step depth of 9 inches--far deeper than other machines and deep enough that most users won't constantly kick the end of the step. Most importantly, the revolving steps on the ProStep 6000 create a highly effective cardiovascular workout that quickly elevates your heart rate. That's because the steps force you to consciously lift your legs on every rotation, thus making you support your entire body weight with every stride. This type of weight-bearing exercise can provide an extremely effective workout in a relatively short period of time.

The ProStep 6000 is also equipped with a safety step lock, which, when on, keeps the stairs from moving until the user is ready to start. Similarly, if the user happens to slip or get behind, the stairs will automatically stop once your foot reaches the optical sensor. And thanks to the contact heart rate sensors and built-in training programs--including training by the number of floors climbed, exercise time, and calories burned--it's a breeze to design an effective training regimen. Other details include speed ranges of 30 to 120 steps per minute; a control panel that displays the time, distance (floors), and speed; and minimal power consumption (equal to a 60-watt light bulb). The ProStep 6000 measures 26 by 68 by 44 inches (W x H x D), weighs 222 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
