I use a machine like this at my gym:

Is anyone else here familiar with these? I'm wondering what resistance others do. I usually am between 10-12. I've never been above 12. I'm wondering if most people go quite a bit higher or lower or are in that same range.

I'm mostly just curious, but if I'm really low relative to most people I might work on bumping it up.

My strides per minute is usually at 160 but I've taken it to over 200 just to see if I could. I go for distance. I'll do an hour on the machine on manual mode. No inclination.

I've been doing more treadmill now since my knee has healed up. I run for 4 miles then walk for one mile. I hope to get this up to a 6 mile run before too long and then I'll bring the overall time down to what I did when I was younger... about 48 minutes or less.

What pace do y'all go?

I think I'm averaging 130 strides per minute.

I've been doing the weightloss program. I have to drop down to 10 for it, because in the intervals with the low elevation (that works quads, hamstrings, gluts and calves) I can barely do 10. When it moves up to the higher elevation that only works quads and gluts I could go up to 12, but I leave it at 10 to recuperate from the lower elevation lol.

If I do a manual course I often do 12 elevation 11 or 12 resistence.

Oh and recently after the weight loss program and cool down I do an extra mile or two if I have time. I went 45 minutes on Saturday, it was crazy!

If I'm just doing a normal workout, usually between 8-12 depending on how I feel.

If I am doing intervals, I start at 8 and keep alternating between higher and higher levels and the original 8 level. Once you get to 16 and 17 though it's too hard to do for more than say a minute at most. But, that is the point, after all.

Ours don't count strides per minute. So I'm not sure.

I have those in my gym too. Maybe I'm lazy, but I usually just keep it at 5 or 6 resistance. Any lower and it's too easy and I can't keep pace cause it runs away from me... any higher and I get winded and don't want to do an hour of it.

10-12... you're an animal! 8)

Hard to compare yourself to others... just find what you will come back and do on a daily basis. If it's too hard, than you won't look forward to doing and you might stop. A little is always better than none.

Keep up the good work!
