the Stepmill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! discuss.

The only problem I have with the stepmill is the steps aren't deep enough to get your whole foot on, so then you end up either on your toes/balls of your feet, which hit the calves a lot OR stepping on it bow-legged.

I agree, easily the most brutal piece of cardio equipment.

Hold one one second now all I can think about is your calves...

Sorry I got distracted.

It's the most brutal commonly found piece. I owned one; the steppers are also effective, if the time and effort's put in with decent ROM and not too much holding on to the rails.

Versa climber's possibly even worse but isn't as common or necessary.

It isn't rocket science (or to you maybe it is)...Your output has to be greater than your intake and then you will not be a fat slob...Hope this helps...

Agreed.

My 'guru' consulted with me and wants me to bump up my efforts on the 'fat burn' program at Level-6 for NO less than 30 minutes a day 5x's a week.

I find myself hunched all over the machine and pouring sweat everywhere around the 18 minute mark.

Will help eat up bodyfat and bring out ham/glute tie-in, though.

A guy at my old gym would do it for 45 minutes on a high setting when preparing for a contest. He would lose more fat, more quickly, than anyone I've ever seen. His transformation was nothing short of amazing.
