By Very Unpopular Demand Spitz’s Highly Not Sought After, Top Ten Unsolicited Tips on the Mini Stepper 1. LOSSEN THE WHEEL a. Loosen the wheel under the stepper as much as possible. It will still be plenty hard to exercise for the foreseeable future. 2. STEP HALF WAY DOWN a. In the beginning until your leg muscles strengthen, step about half way down. 3. 2000 STEPS a. If you step half way down, you can step about 2000 steps in 20 minutes 4. 6 POP SONGS FROM THE 70’S a. On Pandora, 2000 steps all the way down will equal about 6 pop rock songs from the 70’s (in the Stevie Wonder Genre). I have done this a bunch of times and 6 songs is pretty darn gone reliable. b. I cannot and will not however vouch for the songs from the 80s. I tell people who want to listen to 80’s music, I cannot help you. You are on your own. Good luck.. 5. 1000 STEPS IF YOU GO ALL THE WAY DOWN a. If you step all the way down, this will cut your steps to about 1000 steps but it will still span across 6 pop rock songs from the 70’s because the songs are a function of time not steps. b. Pretty stupid point, but a point nonetheless. 6. VARY ARM MOVEMENTS a. Vary you types of arm movements so you do not build up lactic acid and it does not become drudgery: i. Arm curls ii. Reverse arm curls iii. Pulling straight up iv. Arms out to the side v. Arms behind you ( the easiest one and good for a quasi-rest) vi. Also try doing the above movements one arm at a time as well as 1. Bring your right hand to your left shoulder (and vice a versa) 2. Bring you right hand one foot in front of your left shoulder. b. Bottom line: change or stop arm movement if lactic acid builds up. On the other hand, if you start hallucinating, that is fine. Not only fine but a peak experience. 7. COORDINATION a. So you don’t get the feeling that you are flailing about, I like to coordinate the top of my arm movements with my right foot hitting the bottom of its stride. b. On the other hand , if you like to flail – flailing is indeed often underrated and misunderstood – then ignore this advice. c. Of course you have might chosen to already ignore all my advice and it might be a small miracle if you made it this far. 8. COUNTING PATTERNS a. Patterns i. If I am counting to 1000 full steps, then I like to divide it into 4 sets of 250. ii. The I like to lay down tracks by counting to 37 steps for each set. iii. Then I like to take the “head” off of each 250 set and I will count from 190 to 250 4x iv. Then I might count to 37 from 200 to 237 4x and then 67 to 100 4x. v. And on and on like this creating and counting new subsets. It keeps me engaged and amazingly it matches the clock pretty darn close when all my subsets add up to 1000 b. Backwards will make forward progress easier i. I also find that psychologically and somehow even physically easier to count backwards than forward, so in lots of my subsets I am counting backwards. c. Seek Help i. If you find this interesting or worse yet actually following any of this, seek help as soon as possible. 9. SMOKING: a. I don’t recommend smoking but if you do smoke, I recommend not smoking while on the mini stepper, unless of course you are making a You Tube Video and you need clicks.. b. Then I not only highly recommend it but I request that you tell me if you do because I would like to watch it. 10. WALKING YOUR DOG a. The question often comes up is it safe to walk your dog while on the mini stepper? b. You can try it, but eventually your dog will realize that he has not gone anywhere and it could lead to break down in trust.
