I feel like it would be a good workout, but then I think about the fact that I have to walk upstairs to get my baby, and I think maybe it's not a good idea anymore.
I like it. My trainer says that if you only have 30 minutes to do one thing that it is the most effective.
Disagree x 1,000,000.
If you only have 30 mins, doing a total body workout incorporating weights and body weight will burn more calories, and your muscles will continue to burn calories post workout.

Which isn't ONE THING, he was asked specifically to name one item / exercise to do if you only had 30 minutes.

Yeah, me too.
Being on the stairs for a half hour sounds like torture.

I wish I saved the spark people article that said lifting weights calories burned were overstated vs cals burned from pure cardio Wdyt about that?
I'm a little confused by your phrasing. Do you mean the article says calories burned while lifting weights are exaggerated/you'll burn more calories doing straight cardio?
I don't mean go and do bicep curls and chest presses for a half hour. I mean combine total body moves utilizing weights, like a squat/shoulder press and then alternate with a high intensity cardio move like mountain climbers. Your heart rate will get a LOT higher doing burpees or mountain climbers than it will doing JUST weights or JUST cardio (on a machine). So, yes, I think you'll burn more calories doing the workout I describe than using a treadmill or stair master.

So you really meant what cardio machine to do for 30 minutes.
Because no one would do burpees straight for 30 minutes. Or bicep curls, or really any other weight bearing move.

So if you do a step mill, your muscles DON'T continue to burn calories post-workout?

We could argue this forever, but I'm just saying it's not the greatest investment of 30 minutes if you're weighing the options of what to do.
Most people also hold onto/press their body weight into the hand rails which takes a lot of the "work" out of it.
When I'm at a comp I'll find the article but it said that even when tracked with a hrm, cals burned during a weight lifting session are inaccurate and overstated unlike from cardio session. Which totally confused me
But a straight weight-lifting session isn't what she's talking about. She's talking about a circuit type workout with full-body moves intermixed with high-intensity cardio so your heart rate is always up while "lifting".
It's not the same thing as just doing 30 minutes of bicep curls and dead lifts.

Muscles burn more calories than fat. By incorporating weight training instead of just steady state cardio, your body can build more muscle and thus burn more calories. Even at rest when you're doing nothing.
I love me some cardio and could run forever and stuff, but if you're into getting a certain result you're going to get more bang for your buck if you pick up some heavy weights. Cardio isn't wrong, your methods just depend on what your goals are.
I do the stair mill for 15 minutes at the start of most of my workouts. It's an amazing workout. Even if the rest of my workout sucks, I know I got in a solid sweat already from that.
The stairmaster doesn't really compare, but I'll do it sometimes if I'm in a pinch at a hotel gym or something.
