The stair climb machine is king compared to treadmills.

I had trouble with my knees while running, swelling pain the whole bit. I NEVER had any trouble with my knees after working a stair master. I much preferred using that than running, even skipping rope.

I completly disagree with your comment.................Rockin'

It may not feel as bad, maybe you have certain bag things about you knees that make you feel the pounding from running, but its a scientific fact that going up stairs is much worse for you knees. Like I said, you may not feel it, but your cartilage will wear out much faster. But don't listen to me, I don't mind ***tards becoming unable to walk in their future. Please, be my guest and climb 100 flights of stairs daily.

its alot worse for your knees tho....

yup

A stair master is a great work out in addition to other cardio. One key element is to keep your hands off the rails. Don't hold on whatsoever.

I have lost 5 pounds in 1 week by just using the star climb machine alone
