For anyone who's taken the stairmaster, how is it?

Is it something that someone who isn't overweight and in average condition will pass it or is it difficult and you have to prepare?

You need to go to a gym and grab 2 20 pound weights and get on a stairmaster for 3 minutes. If you have never even tried it before your test day I would expect to fail.

They upped it to 3 1/2 minutes now, I'll go tomorrow and train, if you get to know the machine before the test, it'll be so much easier and less scary

If you're in any sort of shape, you'll be fine. I never did the StairMaster with weights prior, and it was over before I knew it. Just don't think about it while you're stepping.

Cool thanks. Still waiting on mailman. Did the cpat for a department here last year. That was stairmill with 75lbs. Was hard but not till the very last 30 second or so. hoping this stairmill is slightly easier seeing as how it's 35lbs lighter.

Sing a song in your head, helps keep your mind of it.
