Next to the treadmill, the Stairmaster 4000 and 4600 PT are the best cardio machines ever. I've been overweight for the first 19 years of my life. Enough was enough so I decided to join a gym. But after 2 months of seeing no results, I was on the verge of giving up.

Then, I discovered the Stairmaster. The Stairmaster was what did it for me-- cutting my weight in half! Still at it after 13 years, I never go a day without a Stairmaster work out and never worry about yo-yo weight gains and losses.

The down side, however, is the latest machines are not as durable and reliable as the mid 90's versions. Furthermore, they are even more tougher to use (they feel stiffer than the older versions)-- but that does put your body to the test even more!

Furthermore, most health clubs no longer carry this machine or if they do, they carry very few machines. Most consider this machine too difficult to use and opt for the "easy no-sweat" ellipticals (which I really just can't see how someone can actually lose weight on these things).

But if you are serious about seeing results, and are willing to put the 30 minutes a day into it, this is the machine for you! Just start slow and once your body gets used to it, it will feel routine and you will see results! Too bad this machine is losing it's popularity.

P.S. You might also want to run on a treadmill for 2 minutes or so before and after (to warm up and cool down)

This is my 2nd stairmaster.I sold the 1st one because I was moving and wanted a newer version. I can't say enough good things about it. If you put in the time, you will see and feel results quickly. I have 3 children, the youngest is 20 months and I wear a size 6, and feel great. I am 35 years old. I only do 10-20 minutes 4-5x per week. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE my stairmaster!!!
