Stairmaster vs Treadmill

Yesterday I used the Stairmaster for the first time in at least 5 if not 7 years. All this time I had been using either the treadmill at home or the one in the gym. I forgot how much I liked the stairmaster. They both have their pros. The Stairmaster is easier on the knees and I can get a harder workout in a shorter amount of time. The treadmill is better for fine tuning my workout when it comes to targeting a heart rate zone.

After I run a race in October, I think I am going to stop running and only walk on the treadmill. When we move, I think I will buy a Stairmaster.
