Running is the most common and natural human movement after walking and you're a pure moron if you think it will harm you. Walking only up stairs like these machines do will frick up your muscle/tendon balance.
People climb hills and mountains in nature, yes, but they also climb back down, and walking downhill is mechanically very different than walking up. Using these machines as your cardio is equivalent to only doing pushing exercises and never doing any pulling.
The type of "grass and soil" you're imagining is a human creation. Natural soil is uneven and filled with rocks and roots. There is a famous native american tribe that runs 30 mile+ marathons for fun, all through rocky canyons that are much harder than any pavement.
People injure themselves running because they wear massive padded shoes that frick up their stride and cause them to slam their heels onto the ground with every stel, which will frick up your knees even on the softest grass.
I'm confused, are these baits/memes or do people here genuinely believe that every exercise eviscerates your joints? Based on what I see here every day, I'm inclined to believe people are just moronic.

Don’t be fooled! This poster is a israelite!
stop doing high impact garbage like running and stairs you fricking morons
air bike, rowing machine, elliptical machine
these destroys high impact trash, gives better cardiovascular gains and doesn't destroy your knees and joints
doesn't have anything to do with being a fatty, but i wouldn't expect am*ritards with their poor education to know how the body works
How long should I spend on this thing and at what speed?
I normally warm up before each workout with 500 steps at 100 steps per minute and then I’m tired. If I go slowly like 75 steps/min it takes forever and if I go for longer I end up hurting my achilles tendons
Wtf do you warm up for you moron? Your warm up should be planned around what are you gonna train on a given day. If you warm up to climb stairs then sure do it if you're actually training then stop doing it as a warm up.
>Wtf do you warm up for
Aren’t you supposed to warm up before you lift? I’ve been rowing 1km and then doing 500 steps to make sure my whole body is warmed up before I start on any weights
Love biking outside more than any other form of cardio but a stairmaster can get you in the red far quicker, not sure if that's something one should aim for but might be worth mentioning.
Side note: I am from the Netherlands so mostly flat, little climbing, often times lots of wind though.
you big legs
lmao no >>Can pass as cardio
Dude, it is cardio. That's all it is. People think walking up the stairs is hypertrophic now? What's next, you will try building your back with swimming?
>doesn't give you big legs because steps are moving and thus greatly reduces resistance of actually using muscles to climb steps >doesn't give you big legs because if climbing steps gave you massive thighs, curling a soup can for 1000 reps a day would give you giant biceps and we all know that shit doesn't happen >OP injured himself like a moron and now his back is as weak as a newborn baby's so he thinks that everything that puts compression on his body will destroy him, thus rendering himself weak forever, so he chooses to try and hold everyone else back because he's such a massive Black personisraelite weakgay
Yep, another day on IST
>destroys your knees
Oops!
fatties will do anything to avoid cardio
The stair master is for women. Men run on the treadmill at a 6min mile pace
He's right in med school everyone avoids stairs because its common knowledge theyre knees destroyers.
Because modern doctors are all out of shape fat morons with weak legs
>t. medical students’ disease
Every time.
Varsity athletes have been running tour de stades for decades. You are full of shit.
>Varsity athletes
>Varsity
What shape are they in 20 years later?
Wouldn't know, never had the makings myself.
Don't ever talk back to me again
More so than running/jogging? Off yourself you mongoloid Black person.

Running is ok if you aren't a hamplanet and you're not running on against a hard surface.
You're designed to run on grass and soil, not metal and concrete

Only if you're a lardass, and even then, if you don't do it explosively, you should be fine

Joint decay is slow, but a very real problem

I got here the same way the coin did.
Or you could just do a few hard sets of squats a week and get actual big legs plus save a lot of time.
I use this with a weighted vest and I am dripping sweat. Trying to simulate rucking up the Eiffel Tower.

20-30 minutes and climb minimum 90-100 floors
20-30 minutes non stop at 100 steps per minute which is like jogging pace but going up 60% incline stairs? As a warm up?
Post Olympic Gold medals
Obviously not as a warmup moron
I do 30 minutes at setting 9
Whatever that is
20 to 30 minutes at YOUR acceptable pace, slightly challenging yourself regularly
I hear these are bad for the knees
Are elliptical machines any better?

I hate the elliptical. The circles are too small compared to cycling, and the stride lengths are too short compared to running.
>The circles are too small compared to cycling
False
I go on level 15 for about 20-30 minutes and I'm frickin dead after
I'm interested in using the gym's stairmaster but I had knee work done.
I can do elliptical cycling just fine.
Will this frick my shit up?
What did your doc say about your knee?
you big legs
lmao no

Daily reminder that the stair master is Patrick Bateman approved
approved by a fiction character created by a homosexual
Say what you want, but gays know a lot about building muscle
Also, go with the motion of the steps if you want to go easy on the knees

You don't know what you're talking about.
based and steppilled.
Just make sure you don't use the supports to lessen the burden!
