I don't see a lot of good stairmaster videos, Thanks for uploading! I sort of stumbled upon the stairmaster a month ago and found that listening to an audiobook while walking at a 7 has vastly improved my metabolism
Thanks so much for the comment! Glad you liked it, yes, it's one of my favorite steady state cardio options, low impact, but recruits the abs the whole time so you get more cardio than you even realize!
This is the type of instructional video I needed. It helps to see you don't have to just be on the machine but there are other positions that can help other body areas as well.
@@falschgedenkt9086 hahaha well if it makes you feel better I started at 60 steps per minute back in November and I separate my cardio and lifting unless I'm doing circuit training. Currently I'm doing cardio every morning before work at 4am and lifting in the afternoon after work. Edit: also doing cardio after lifting will always feel alot harder.
@@BodyMountain Man I do a full 30 on that thing, but while I do use the handles, I only use them lightly to make sure I don't accidentally trip and injure myself in such a way that I have to sit out workouts to recover. I definitely had a problem with overstepping at first, but you just gotta keep at it until you get the posture right. When I'm just trying to lose all this extra weight, having to stop when you don't want to SUCKS. When I first started working out, I was jogging on the pavement too hard, trying to strike on my toes, and it completely wrecked my calves for months... It was so frustrating. I think at that point I decided I'd rather do something sustainable and play it safe, than risk injury and set myself back.
@@BodyMountainHey Mate, im realy keen on this hardcore machine to strengthen my core & legs..just a quick question i know it can tone but would you say it can build leg mass a little??... Cheers 👍
I’m here thinking how can he talk while exercising on the stair master? 😂 I must’ve been doing something wrong then! I will try this method, thanks for making this video
The first day I tried this machine, I went at a pace of 6 or 7 and I was so out of breath in 1 minute and 30 seconds flat, I literally had to keep stopping. The next day, I went at a pace of 4 and stayed on it a solid 10 minutes! Do you think that going at a slower pace like that is beneficial until I can work my way up to a faster pace? Thanks
I tried this today and I loved it!! I sweat like a pig. But I made a mistake on the step sideways. I didn’t skip the step on back side. I’m gonna do it again tomorrow. Will that be ok if I do this everyday for 25 minutes?
Way better to do the variations ! You burn way more calories than just stepping straight . Plus it gives you the perfect 🍑 I burn like 700-800 calories in 40 minutes which is pretty awesome. Can’t even do that in a high intensity spin class.

The stair master ain’t no joke!

So glad to hear it was helpful! Have you been able to try this yet?
Nice! I can’t do any workouts for 4 to 6 weeks. However I think the dr will clear me for this. Thank you!
nice video bro, thanks. i did today for the first time in my life, it feels great, i`ll surely continue using that machine.
Cool machine, hope my gym has it!
I just do 40 minutes at about 90 steps a minute without leaning. I enjoy it. First 10 and last 10 minutes are the hardest.
40???😯
@@falschgedenkt9086 yeah but I recently started running again since I lost 20 to 30 lbs. I still do the stair master thoufh. Just not 7 days a week.
@@Desh727 I‘m trying to get in some cardio after my workouts every day (either bike or stairmaster) but after 10 min at about 80-90 spm I‘m just dead

I enjoy 40 to 50 minutes as well! Honestly I don't really feel the shift to fat burning until 20-30 minutes, 40 is ideal!
I've been working the stairmaster for a few months and I STILL can't let go of the handles. How the hell do people keep their balance on that thing?
Start with 30 seconds no hands, build up to a minute, then 2 &3 and so on! Just make it up in your mind handles are not an option!

Great video I’m gonna try HOWEVER I’m still stuck on the get the toes pointed part for crunches 🤔?
I was worried that it woudnt be able to hold my weight but it did and I got one for my dad im so happy with this product.
The absolute unnecessary embarrassment I would feel doing anything but walking on this thing 😂
Just give it a shot Angela!!

That escalated quickly.
Is it a good leg builder?
Definitely good for shaping and toning the legs, it will build some, but not like weight training.
I did that for 30 mins then my clothes were totally wet like running thru the rain lol
Bro I'm lucky to make it 10 minutes on that thing. Just goes to show how fat and out of shape I am :( I can't even go fast lol
I believe in you! Have you progressed to 20 minutes yet?
I’m always stumbling and tripping, really scared of falling):
How many floors equals a mile
Umm, what if I convert a Stairmaster into a Treadmill Desk?
Lol that sounds intense. Please send a picture!
I can barely do 10-15 mins
You're lucky, i can barely do 5 minutes. And i am in decent shape. Can jog for a while.
Same here
Have you been able to progress to longer?
he sounds like austin dunham
Grabbing handles I consider cheating 🤔🤔

Learn how to climb stairs without pressure on knee joints for long term health. Use good form!!!
Take your bloody hands off… thats all you need to do and it will work like magic.. ( saying this to those glued to those handles and their phones )
