FAQ

Is Stairmaster better than walking for calorie burn?

Usually yes, because stair climbing is more intense. But the best workout is the one you can do consistently.

Why is my Stairmaster calorie number different from online calculators?

Different calculators assume different body weights and intensity levels. Heart rate gives a better estimate.

How often should I do Stairmaster?

2–4 times/week is common. Start light and increase gradually to avoid knee strain.
