6. Stair Stepper Machine Interval Workout
Directions
This can be performed on any machine that has piston-leg action, like the Cybex Arc, Keiser Runner, Versa-Climber, or any other stair-climbing machine where the foot is constantly fixed to the pedal. Set the resistance level high enough so that it’s challenging for the entire 30 seconds of work. Gradually increase the “stride length” level of the machine with each bout. This is the advantage of machines like Cybex Arc, where the distance between the feet (the height of the knee on the top leg versus the drop of the foot on the bottom leg) can be adjusted.
The workout
Reps: 20-30 (30 seconds of work immediately followed by 30 seconds of active rest is considered one rep)
Total time: 20-30 min.
