I’ve ran the Bike too many consecutive days in a row, almost 3 weeks so I switched it up, went to Bedford and got on the OG Matrix Stepmill.
-
What I like to do is using the metric of 1-Mile = 2250 Steps, I set a distance goal of 6750+ Steps or 3-Miles. In order to accomplish that volume in an hour or less I have to set the Stepmill at least at Level-16 or higher intensity.
-
I’ve literally ran up this thing on its Maximum speed or Level-20 so Level-16 is a nice comfortable pace I can pretty much sustain indefinitely. For that reason, I usually set the intensity at Level-17 or just past what’s comfortable, and let that cool for an hour.
-
When I first decided to get back in shape, I had to start at Level-6 but used this exact method to increase my capacity. 6 became 8. 8 became 10. 10 became 12. 12 became 14 and so on.
-
The bike and Stepmill are very complimentary in that, getting used to having to push yourself on the Bike under resistance, just “keeping up” with the Stepmill is like a lighter, higher volume training session. It’s like the “accessory work” to the “main lift” of the Bike.
-
The main difference between the Bike and Stepmill training effects besides the movements themselves is that the Stepmill locks you at a certain pace. You can obviously adjust it mid-session but I don’t. It’s a great tool when you want to inure yourself to a pace just outside your comfort zone.
-
Toes to Bar followed the Stepmill, the usual 100x in a 10x10.
