step machine

Gym leg exerciser

A step machine is exercise equipment that simulates climbing stairs, featuring pedals that move up and down as you shift weight between feet.

Also called a stair stepper or stepper.

The motion targets leg muscles and provides cardiovascular exercise: I spent twenty minutes on the step machine at the gym.
