Treadmills

[Yo Momma]

Do you have the stepper or stair “mill” type?

I have the Freeclimber 4400 PT: https://www.fitnesssuperstore.com/Stairmaster-4400PT-Stair-Stepper-w-Black-Console-p/4400pt.htm

Stairmaster not a treadmill but saves the knees for the real thing. It totally mimics climbs to the peak for delicious pow. No hiding from a real Stairmaster and not talking those shock absorber cheapos. I searched for 5 yrs till I found one almost brand new for $200. It's a $3,000 + unit that they just wanted to unload.

AND it totally mimics ILE for the pow turns!

Sweet! Can totally go 400-500W without knee impact!

And huge calves for the beach.

This is what I meant. 8' ceiling insufficient.

You're right. And you get footstrike impact on each step.

^Those are great for people who have light legs and high foot speed already OR want a super-slow-cadence workout. For the rest of us who want high power numbers and low impact forces, not so much.
