Hi, about 2-3 weeks ago I started to work out on the step mill at my gym and I gotta say that I love it.. I find that it makes for a great cardio/strength workout and afterwards I'm usually soaked (fr sweat) and fatigued.. I using it for overall fitness and in preparation of re-entering the CF and getting ready for BMQ (I know running is the best way, which I do too but sometimes i get bored with it pretty fast)
My step mill work out on it averages around 45-55min/6-700 cal/250-275 floors..I usually stay at a high level(12 or 13) for around 8-9 min then drop down to a low level (1-3) for a lil break/water for like 1-2 min then go back up to a 12/13 and continued this cycle for around 50+ min/when the machine does a auto shut down... I find that my current workout is a pretty good for me, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice/thoughts on using the step mill? I've been on BMQ before at the mega (during the summer of 06) and I was on the 10th floor (lost 20 lbs in 1.5 months) so I know all about the stairs there, so I figured the step mill would be great for preparing.
Thanks
