Common misunderstandings about climbing machine fitness

　　Problem: Ignore the importance of your posture.

　　Correction: Keep your torso straight and gently hold the handles in front of you with both hands. Many bodybuilders have very non-standard postures. They tend to lean their trunks forward (some even to the point of being parallel to the ground), with their arms firmly resting on the handles, and the handles almost bear the weight. exercise All the weight of the upper body. Their starting point is good in order to speed up the "climbing" to increase the amount of calories burned, but the result is exactly the opposite. If you want to increase the intensity of your training, you can completely lift your palms off the handles and just rely on the strength of your legs to lift your body's center of gravity - this is quite difficult. Of course, you can also alternate training by combining "supporting" and "not supporting".

　　Question: Take the shallow steps.

　　Correction: Make your stride longer—even at the expense of slowing down your climb. Some bodybuilders like to take shallow steps because they think that the faster they climb, the more calories they will consume. This time they are wrong again. Because the standard design of the elliptical machine is that the stride length is about 8-10 cm per step, the smaller the stride length, the less likely it is that calories will be consumed.
