WHAT IS THE STAIRMASTER 4000 PT EXERCISE SYSTEM?
The StairMaster 4000 PT exercise system is a vertical climbing machine with
an independent step action. The independent step action, combined with the
patented pedal geometry featured on all StairMaster steppers, provides an
aerobic workout equivalent to uphill running or climbing stairs, but without the
high-impact pounding to the joints and muscles.
