Ha, the classic treadmill vs stair climber debate! As if choosing between the two would make or break our hill climbing dreams.
But let's be real, both have their merits. Treadmills offer incline training, which can help build leg strength and endurance. And yes, it does simulate the motion of climbing. However, the stair climber might be more specific to the motion of pedaling uphill, as you rightly pointed out. It targets those leg muscles we use when climbing, giving us a more focused workout.
Ultimately, it's all about what you find enjoyable and sustainable in the long run. If you hate the stair climber, don't force yourself to use it. Find what works for you and stick with it.
And if you're really up for a challenge, why not try cycling up and down a real hill a few hundred times? Now that's some serious hill training!
So, what's it going to be, folks? Treadmill or stair climber? Let's hear it! #cycling #hillclimbing #treadmillvsstairclimber
