Purpose: I am doing this little experiment. I want to see what is the most efficient weight loss method: treadmill, stair master, or running outside. I will compare each method with itself and with each other and try to see what my results yield.

Background Info: To compare apples to apples, I must set the weight input to the same weight on both the treadmill and stair master. The weight will also stay the same each time I increase the MPH on the treadmill and the level on the stair master. Furthermore, I am trying to get a good range of MPHs for the treadmill and levels for the stair master by selecting six different MPHs and levels, which are the ranges I usually bounce back and forth with. I chose the range of MPHs and Levels, because they seem to be  standard to challenging for most people.  Running outside will be the most difficult to compare, being that I do not have anything to calculate calories with or MPH (even though I could calculate the miles per hour by how long it takes me to run the two miles outside. I might do that, when I start working on that section of this experiment). Therefore, right now, I will simply see if I can achieve a faster time than the previous day, once I get to that section and will also compare how long it takes me to run outside versus on the treadmill and stair master.
