A member asked:
Is the stair-master safe if i have moderately degenerated bulging discs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can do whatever you can tolerate. I am sure that the stairmaster has an advanced level, that might bother you. Start light and see what you can tolerate. Believe it or not, the worst exercise you can do with disc problems are sit ups.
