Which brings me to a question.
I've been doing the stairmaster 6/7 days a week for about 3 weeks, on a low level (because I'm so out of shape). Is it more important to add to the time, while keeping the level the same, or increase the level, while doing the same time?
I have increased the time, but kept the level... I was just curious.
I'm no authority, but almost everything I read these days seems to indicate that increasing intensity will probably give you more benefits than increasing length. From heart rate interval training to this Sprint 8 workout, most of the gurus seem to be pushing towards increasing intensity (even if only in short bursts).
