This serious equipment will turn your home gym into a professional cardio cross-training center and is built to last. Star Trac has analyzed the body and hand position of users and designed its E-ST Stepper for a wide range of body sizes. The handrails allow many angles of convenient hand placement. The pedals actually provide shock absorbing!

The multistage fitness test, fatburner program, and 2 heart rate programs inform, as well as motivate. The E-ST is wired for the Star Trac E Series entertainment system, which includes a 15" monitor. The personal fan keeps you cool as you press on toward your fitness goals.
