How similar is the airlift bike to assault bike?

Not 100% sure but the StairMaster bike is air resistance only so there’s no bearing resistance like the assault bike.
It seems like the calories don’t tick as fast but not by an exponential amount.

I asked about the elevation training mask a few days ago, and wanted to know what you guys think about the BAS RUTTEN O2 TRAINER is it the same thing, and a wast of time to use?

You did the right thing by scaling down. Stay on top of that extra assault bike work it will do you good. The majority of the assault bike is between your ears and your ability to suffer. Don’t get me wrong being small is a disadvantage but you shouldn’t let that be an excuse but use it as motivation to want to work harder.
