Anyone got tips for using a StairMaster Stepmill properly?

I just put on my podcast and zone out for 20 minutes at level 7. It’s the easiest 20 minutes of my life.

Purists who do not use music or podcast while using the treadmills are a whole different breed. I just cannot use a treadmill without at least three form of stimulation so I can survive the first 15 minutes of use.

One more thing I forgot to tell you all, do not use the treadmills going backwards. Yes it’s a tiktok trend but I’ve seen two individuals fall off the machines while doing it and one of them needed stitches. These treadmills are not designed for this and your reaction time to regain your balance is zero.
