Do guys at the gym ever use the “stair machine” for a cardio workout or is it for girls only?

by Workout Fiend on January 26, 2010


I want to get more into my cardio routine but can’t stand running all the time….I figured I could switch it up by doing some cardio on a stair machine. Is that too feminine a machine for guy’s to use? Regardless, I’ll probably use it anyways but wanted to see if other guys have actually used it for cardio or not…any other good cardio routines instead besides sports?

I don’t think it is feminine. Who cares what people think anyway. It is good to mix it up because your body gets used to the same thing, working the same mussels all the time. I run as well but I also do the bike. That might be something you can switch to. One suggestion that i did was hang a 60 lb punching bag in my basement and punched the heck out of it. I sweat faster hitting that bag and my upper body was extremely sore, and i work upper body on my bowflex. Bag work is a great strength/cardio workout. But for now, do the stair master. No big deal.
