The Stairmaster is hard and I think a lot of people can agree with that. Um, I personally like it. I haven't used it in a while. I've been mainly just like going on walks, but I think it's a good like low impact cardio. Like it's gonna really bring your heart rate up, climbing the stairs like that, but it's really good and it's like good for strengthening the knees and the legs and like it's not as hard on the body as like running is.
