    Longer workouts, less often?

    I think the only thing you might lose is the total amount of afterburn calories on a per week basis but you might gain more energy to do the next workout with some more timeoff spaced between workouts and so expend more calories during the workout. Recovery time is important too and you would be...

    Slanted risers

I regulate the rise of the incline by placing 1 or 2 or...... more under one side and none under the other. I workout on carpeting and it doesn't slip. If you work out on a bare...

    Dumbells

    Hi Beth, I continue the up and down game too when I opt not to use my selectTech and use my standard dumbells or barbell instead. I consider the step running with weights part of my exercise. The selectTech while no substitute for standard weights are a great addition for alot of weight work.

    Anyone else get mixed results from the X?

    Thanks for the article. I am posting a summary from another article on the subject of morning vs later exercise (doesn't address HIIT or other topics).
