Tenmagnet: note that I said "Stepmill" and not "Stairmaster."
The difference? Well, kind of like how a fish is different than a piece of paper. As in, no comparison! Most non-exercising people can't last 5 minutes on a Stepmill on Level 1. When I was in shape, I used to do LSD (Long Slow Distance) on Sundays, 120 minutes at Level 10. Now, I did 45 minutes at Level 4 this morning and suffered all day long from having overdone it.
If you think I'm kidding, then I challenge you. Go to the local 24 hour fitness or LA fitness and find a Stepmill. You can't miss them - they are huge and look like little escalators. Set one for Level 10 for 30 minutes on your choice of programs. Then come back and tell us how easy it is!</blockquote>
Be serious!
Of course I?m familiar with that machine, and agree it?s a fantastic workout.
Not many people use it because it?s so difficult.
They're always open at the gym.
It allows you to also monitor your heart rate on it as well.
I do 30-45 minutes at level 7, fat burning mode after I?ve already run 5K.
Set up a challenge, bring a lunch because it?s going to be a long day for you.
Let me know what I'll get when I win, it better be good.
Don't waste my time!
