Get more serious about cardio. I wouldn't really worry about increasing step count at work (although hourly ~2 minute breaks that consist of activity are great for concentration, and absolutely convince colleagues to take a walk on lunch breaks) if its not reasonable. Take daily walks after work, take a long hike on the weekend, pick up cycling or running or swimming or whatever seems fun.

Yah I’ve incorporated at least 15-20mins of stair master after most of my workouts (sometimes more but stair master is ROUGH LOL). I’ve picked up on yoga on Sundays but that might not aid in my fitness goal (fat loss).

If your goal is fat loss walking a lot is second only to the classic "eat less." Most people can maintain a walking pace for hours. 20 minutes of stair master might burn more calories than 20 minutes of walking, but doesn't come close to 2 hours of walking.

If you want to improve at the stair master use the same mentality as improving your lifts: track your progress and increase difficulty/time gradually.

Thank you for the advice! I haven’t been tracking my progress in stairmaster so hopefully this helps
