178/365 Stair Stepper

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

You've seen it at the gym. You've heard it grinding away, demanding it's user to take one step right after the other. What is it? The stair stepper!

I know this machine can be intimidating but, it is an incredible exercise that can be addicting. It of course an activity of daily living (ADL) that you will be doing throughout life. If you feel winded when you go up a flight of stairs, why not practice getting better at it? Plus you never know when you'll find yourself in an action movie like scenario where you'll have to race your way to safety on the top of a roof and the elevators are out of service. It's also a way to break up the monotony of treadmills and ellipticals that you can feel within minutes.

You can start out with your usual cardio for 20 min then finish it off with 10 minutes on the stair stepper or do the reverse. Later you can switch it up to 50/50 then maybe a day on your usual card then a day on the stair stepper. Interval work outs to come...

In health,

Lauren
