P R E S E N TAT I O N
The stepper is a staircase simulator that uses hydraulic pumps for doing these exercises on the spot.
The stepper is a cardio-training machine. Using cardio-training (aerobics exercise) principles, it improves your endurance (maximum oxygen
absorption capacity) and your physical condition and helps you burn calories (control and lose weight in association with a diet plan).
Beyond the cardio-vascular and breathing benefits of exercise, the stepper strengthens the bottom, hips and calves with an impact-free movement.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The ST 270 only requires minimum maintenance. To clean it, use a sponge and clean water for all parts of the ST 270, except the cylinders.
These should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
USE
The stepper is fitted with interdependent pedals, the braking system will therefore depend on the speed of your training.
To increase aerobic intensity, exercise at a faster rhythm (20 minutes minimum training per day). This type of exercise that should be carried
out three times a week.
To increase muscle toning, do the exercise of faster in series with rest time in between. You can do this exercise every other day.
Always start slowly to warm up for a few minutes.
COME BACK UP BEFORE THE STEPS REACH THE BASE for greater effect and to avoid damaging your joints
In order to work your leg and buttock muscles evenly, always stay in a completely upright position (basic position). However, you can also
use the stair stepper to focus on specific muscle groups.

INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE BATTERY :
• Remove the computer mechanism removing it from its space.
• Install or replace 1.5V UM3 or AA batteries checking the polarity on the drawings below.
• Replace the counter
• If however, the information is not or only
partially displayed, remove the battery, wait 15
seconds and replace it.

EXERCISES
For consistent exertion of the legs and thighs, make sure you keep an absolutely vertical position (basic position). However, with the ST270
you can focus on specific muscle groups.
1• BASIC POSITION :
absolutely vertical position, back straight, abdominals flexed, hips tipped forward, push on your heels, arms bent.
2• TARGETING ON THE MUSCLES AT THE BACK OF THE THIGHS :
the muscle located at the back of the thigh is used when bending the leg, thus bringing the heel back towards the thigh. On the
ST270 all you have to do, therefore, is reproduce this movement, bringing the heel to the thigh. To do so, bend down slightly whilst
keeping your trunk upright so as to reach a half-sitting position without leaning over entirely.
3• CONCENTRATING ON YOUR REAR MUSCLES:
To concentrate on your rear muscles, remove the feet from the pedal half way and contract your abdominals to keep your back
straight and avoid curving.
4• CONCENTRATING ON THE CALF MUSCLES:
Working on the balls of your feet will tone your calf muscles.
GENERAL CARDIO-TRAINING PRINCIPLE
If you are just starting out, begin by exercising for several days without pushing yourself to hard, taking breaks if necessary. Gradually increase
the number or duration of the sessions.
Maintenance/Warm-up: Gradual
effort starting with 10 minutes.
For maintenance work to keep yourself in
shape or get back into shape, you can train
every day for about ten minutes. This type of
exercise will wake up your muscles and
joints, or it can be used as a warm-up before another type of physical activity.
Aerobic exercise for getting into
shape: Moderate effort for a
relatively long time (35 minutes to
1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exercise, combined with a diet, is the only way to
increase the amount of energy your body
consumes. To do so, there is no need to push
yourself beyond these limits. Training on a
regular basis is what will produce the best
results.
Work out at your own pace, but for at least
30 minutes. This exercise should cause you to
build up a mild sweat, but it certainly should
not leave you out of breath. It’s the duration
of the exercise at a slow pace that will cause
your body to dip into your fat reserves to get
its energy, as long as you exercise for more
than about thirty minutes at least three times
a week.
Aerobic training for endurance:
Sustained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training aims to strengthen the
heart muscles significantly and improve
respiratory functioning.
This type of exercise is more sustained than
when you are working out to get into shape.
The more workouts you do, the longer and
faster you will be able to exercise. You can do
this type of workout at least three times a
week.
Training at a more intense pace (anaerobic
exercise and exercise in the red zone) is
reserved for athletes and requires special
preparation.
After each workout, set aside several minutes
to walk or run at a lower speed, to slow down
and gradually relax your body.

CARDIO-TRAINING EXERCISE
Cardio-training exercise is a form of aerobics (conditioning the body in the presence of oxygen) and allows you to improve your cardio-vascular
capacity. To be more precise, you will improve the tonicity of the heart and your blood vessels. Cardio-training exercise carries the oxygen breathed
in from the air to your muscles. It is the heart that pumps this oxygen through the body and, in particular, to the muscles being exercised.
C O N T R O L L I N G Y O U R H E A R T B E AT
It is vital to measure your pulse periodically in order to control your
degree of exercising. If you do not have an electronic measuring
device, follow this procedure :
and can slow down the heartbeat. After counting the pulsations for
30 seconds, multiply by 2 to obtain the number of pulsations per
minute.
To take your pulse, position two fingers : on the neck, or below the
ear, or at the inside wrist beside the thumb.
Example : 75 pulsations counted in 30 seconds corresponds to a
heart beat of 150 pulsations per minute.
Do not press too hard : excessive pressure reduces the blood flow
PHASES OF A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
A Warm-up phase : progressive effort
B Training
TRAINING is the main phase of your physical activity. You can improve your physical condition by REGULAR training.
• Anaerobie exercice to develop endurance.
• Aerobic exercice to develop cardio-pulmonary resistance.
Warming up is a preparatory phase before any activity. It puts the person INTO
OPTIMUM CONDITIONS for carrying out his or her favorite sport. It is a METHOD
OF PREVENTING ACCIDENTS TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. There are two
aspects : WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, GENERAL WARMING UP.
1) The muscular system is prepared in a SPECIAL STRETCHING SESSION which
PREPARES FOR EACH ACTIVITY : each group of muscles is used, joints are used.
C Slowing down
This is the continuation of an activity at low intensity, the gradual “return to rest”
phase. SLOWING DOWN brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system, the
blood flow and muscles back to “normal” (eliminating the counter effects of an
exercice, such as lactic acids, the accumulation of which is one of the major causes of muscular pains such as cramps and stiff muscles).
2) Global warming up gradually brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system into action, improves irrigation of the muscles and prepares for making
efforts. It must be sufficiently long : 10 min for a leisure sport activity, 20 min
for a competition sport activity. Note that warming up must be longer : after 55
years old, in the morning.
D Stretching
STRETCHING must follow the slowing down phase while joints are still warm in
order to reduce risks of injury. Stretching after an activity : minimizes MUSCULAR
STIFFNESS due to an accumulation of LACTIC ACIDS, “stimulates” BLOOD
CIRCULATION.
