Generally, as long as you pay attention to proper exercise, your knees are not easy to get hurt. Especially, compared with the treadmill, the mountaineering machine has less damage to the knee.

However, wrong movements and high-intensity exercise may still cause damage to the knees.

Mountaineer is a kind of fitness equipment designed by imitating the principle of mountaineering. When climbing mountains outdoors, active exercise is carried out, and the proportion of legs is relatively large, so the load on knees is also very heavy.

However, when exercising on the mountaineering machine, the whole body participates in sports more, and the quadriceps femoris, posterior thigh muscles and gluteus maximus of the body can all participate in sports.

Therefore, when climbing up and down the steps with thighs on the mountaineering machine, the pressure on the knee joint will be much smaller than when climbing mountains or stairs, and the damage to the knee joint will naturally be reduced.
