Tapboard - the benefits

The stepboard describes a kind of mobile stair step on which it goes up and down dynamically and with varied choreography. It can be used to increase fitness levels. Step aerobics mainly trains the muscles of the legs, buttocks and abdomen. It is also possible to lose weight. If foot or hand weights are used at the same time, this increases the intensity and calorie consumption. For example, strength training with dumbbells can be intensified with a stepping board. The most calories are burned when you really break a sweat in between.

Height-adjustable stepping boards

The workout is suitable for beginners to advanced exercisers because the intensity can be adjusted individually based on the speed. How often the repetitions are done is also crucial. The elastic tread surface is height-adjustable on good models: particularly low heights are suitable for beginners and for rehabilitation, for example after an operation. Stepping promotes blood circulation in the legs, so the exercise is also useful for people with varicose veins or circulatory problems. Compared to other sports such as jogging, the joints are less stressed on the tapboard.

Reebok Deck - further development of the conventional Reebok Step

The Reebok Deck expands the training possibilities. This is true in terms of bodyweight and strength training. With the versatile step board from Reebok, the tread surface of the height-adjustable platform can be raised, turning the stepper into a weight bench in no time at all. The device is well suited for cardio, strength and toning training. The various adjustment options of the deck in terms of inclination, lowering or lying flat are an advantage. This optimises the training options and offers the possibility to adapt the device to different levels.

A coordination ladder can be used to train kicking, jumping and coordination. In football training, for example, it is used to learn fast step sequences or to improve kicking, jumping power, speed and agility. The holistic training with the coordination ladder is also worthwhile in fitness and athletics.
