My body is goat tho I bet yo bytch wld get wet :umad:

aw ok so shld I just keep on doin it or take a break after every week. I can still do the step machine and bicycle

Low impact exercises like the step machine and cycling help strengthen the calves as well as the thin muscular and bone tissues around the fibula. It's good prep work for endurance running and/or jogging.. People forget that running is actually can be very taxing on your lower extremities (hams, quads, calves, shins, ankles, feet and toes) due to the force displaced by such rapid movement. Your body needs to adjust to it.

I was always curious does only using the step machine or treadmill as a way to warm yourself up for weights ok for cardio purposes? Or is treadmill better or worse due to the impact?

A kinesiologist worth his mettle would tell you that a treadmill is more than appropriate in place of running outside. The problem comes from the form that a lot of people use when running a treadmill, which puts too much stress on knees normally and setting the correct grade to simulate the effect of running outside. Steps and treadmill are typically fine for cardio warm ups.
