Imagine walking up flights of stairs for exercise. Even though it may sound horrendous to most, that is what the Stairmaster machine is in most gyms. This exercise is strenuous because of the challenge of keeping a set pace while taking each step upwards.
Another trendy workout that broke through post-COVID is called '25-7-2'. Similar to the treadmill workout, it is a cardio workout, but this one will be on a Stairmaster machine. This workout is a little more challenging than its counterpart on the treadmill that I mentioned in last week's article.
This exercise requires walking for 25 minutes on the Stairmaster, gradually moving to level 7 speed. The '2' is how often you should do it each week, so your legs get adequate rest.
It is important to stress good posture when walking the stairs and keeping your core tight while taking each step. This workout should begin at the slowest speed that can be maintained for 25 minutes while being both comfortable and challenging for the individual.
These trendy workouts evolved during the pandemic and post-pandemic to burn calories at a high rate without needing all of the equipment in a gym. Simplicity and effectiveness are why these parameters became popular.
We all needed to burn calories and lose weight once we could enter gyms again. If your goal is losing weight, these exercises could become a staple in your routine.
If you pair consistency with a good diet that fuels your workouts, you will have excellent physical results and a boost to your overall health and fitness. Finding exercises you enjoy is the most important thing to remember when looking for great ways to improve your fitness and health.
If you enjoy your workouts, you will look forward to your activities every time you do them. Experiment with different workouts and find exercises you like. Then do them consistently throughout your fitness journey.
