I didn’t want to buy any equipment and I don’t have easy access to
stairs. So I was thinking, having seen it recommended, of going with
a box/step-stool, for maintaining leg strength and handling
elevation gain.
For those who use a box/step-stool for exercise, what does that
normally look like?
Is it just stepping up, both feet, and then stepping back down
backwards, alternating the lead foot?

town is not smart right now and most of the trails near
Seattle are closed anyways.
Long, easy runs will also go a long way towards keeping your
fitness up.

I built a plyobox a few years ago, 16, 18, and 24" depending
on the side. Works well, but is brutally boring.
pack.

Pace - on the long day, I shoot for 1000' per hour on the 16"
side. This translates to 12.5 steps per min, or, 50 bpm if you
use a metronome at 4/4 time. On the short day, its 68 bpm
slow, 108 bpm fast.
Mechanics- something like, left up, right up, left down, right
down. That's one rep. Then right up, left up, right down, left
down. That's another rep. Don't put your hands on your
knees to assist. Plant your foot firmly on the box and stand
straight up before going down, no half reps here.
I think stepups are a very good tool if you dont have access
to the real thing or cant get to a trail during the work week. I
use a metronome app which really helps to keep consistent
pacing.

Idk about you guys but i find box steps a lot more physically
challenging than hiking. I cant go more than an hour but i
can ascend 4k in 2 hours without breaks
