stair climber vs. treadmill?

[mealprepmode]

Seems like more big bodybuilders prefer the stairclimber versus the treadmill. What is your preferred choice of cardio after a workout session? Any advice on this? And how long can you run it?

I prefer the stair master and I’m doing 30/40mins 2/3 times a week

I like the thera climber. It's a little more low-impact because you're climbing instead of just going on a treadmill and slamming your legs on it.

Treadmill is okay. I like to do some sprints on it. High intensity cardio is my favorite.

During the hot times of the year, it's essential to still get your cardio. A lot of people don't want to do it outside because it's too hot but you need to get it done indoors.

bros you'll do fine on the stair climber. Don't forget the elliptical as well. That's another option if you get bored.

I like bicycling if I'm going to go indoors. Try a cycling class. It's very challenging.

I think the best cardio choice really depends on the person's goals, fitness level, and what they enjoy enough to stay consistent with.

The stair climber is popular because it challenges the legs and gets the heart rate up quickly, while the treadmill (especially walking at an incline) can be a great option for building endurance with less impact on the joints.

For most people, cardio after strength training doesn't need to be extreme. Even 15-30 minutes at a manageable intensity can provide great benefits. The key is choosing a method you can recover from and continue doing consistently.

I'm curious- do you prefer cardio for improving endurance, burning extra calories, or just supporting overall health?
