Are you looking for a lower body workout that will challenge your endurance and strength while also boosting your cardiovascular health? Look no further than this lower body strength endurance workout, designed by Coach Andrew, specifically for the StairMaster.

This workout is a 30-minute session that will focus on building muscular endurance and strength in the lower body, specifically targeting the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. In addition to strengthening these muscles, this workout will also help increase your cardiovascular health through interval training.

The Warm-Up

To get started, begin with a 3-minute warm-up pace on the StairMaster. This will help prepare your muscles for the workout ahead and get your heart rate up.

The Workout

Once you're warmed up, it's time to get to work. This workout consists of 6 total rounds of combined StairMaster and bodyweight exercises.

  • 2 minutes on the StairMaster
  • 10 squats
  • 10 lunges (each leg)
  • 10 floor bridges (using a floor mat or towel)

After completing these exercises, take a 1-minute rest before beginning the next round. Do this 6 times and you’re done!

Remember:

Throughout the workout, it's important to maintain proper form. Focus on engaging the targeted muscles.

  • Keep your knees aligned with your toes during squats and lunges
  • Make sure your glutes and hamstrings are fully engaged during the floor bridges.

By incorporating this workout into your fitness routine, you can expect to see improvements in both your muscular strength and cardiovascular health. Over time, you'll be able to increase the intensity of the workout by adjusting the speed and resistance on the StairMaster, making it an effective and challenging workout for all fitness levels. 

Happy training!
