How to Do Stairmaster: Step by Step
- Stand upright — don't lean on the rails
- Full foot contact on each step
- Drive through your heels for glute engagement
- Maintain a steady rhythm
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaning heavily on the handrails (cuts the work in half)
- Taking tiny steps — use a full step height
- Going too fast and losing form
Stairmaster Tips
- Don't death-grip the rails — light touch only
- Try intervals: 2 min hard, 1 min easy
- Skip a step occasionally for deeper glute engagement
