Whats the difference between cardio on a stair master opposed to cardio on the tread mill?

Question

People say; to lose a good amount of weight you need to run... I hate running, but I love the stair master. Is there a difference, or is it all just how intense your cardio work out is?

Answer 1

Naw they're the same... heart rate is heart rate... you got it right... depends on how intense you make it.

I've had some wicked workouts on the stair master. In fact, I'd almost say it's harder.

You're good... :D
