Whoa! I can feel my abs being worked out already? After three minutes? I think I have found a new friend at the gym; the stairclimber. After 5 minutes I was already sweating and I was beginning to feel the muscles in my thighs, calves and butt being worked on. Wow! I'm in love ;-). Why didn't I use this machine earlier?
Anyways, I lasted on the machine for only 7mins (lol!) and I was off to do thirty minutes on the exercise bike where I rode a 7k. Then it was off to kettlebell exercises and bicep curls as well as shoulder extensions. But seriously, I'm gonna try doing at least 20minutes on the stairclimber twice a week.
Yesterday's workout was cool. I feel a bit sore in my arms though (the stairclimber has handles that work out the arms too). However I'm still working on better dinner choices. Some of you guys suggested that I try a salad for dinner and I think that's what I'm gonna do.
As I sign off, I would like to thank all my new followers for joining me on my journey for good health. I hope I'm able to share experiences and thoughts that you'd find insightful.
Have a great weekend.
That is so amazing! I still haven't tried that one - I think I need to enroll myself in a gym first. :)

ReplyDeleteThe stairmaster js a killer!!! I don't do it every time I go to the gym (i go twice a week) cause it seriously kicks my butt!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter last nights food binge, I will be doing some stair time this morning!!
Thanks for following my blog! Can't wait to get caught-up on your journey. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I have anxiety when I go to the gym, so I haven't been there in a few years. I don't mind starting off with walking at home on my treadmill. It will work for the time being.
ReplyDeleteAh the stairmaster. Personally I hate it, it's the toughest thing to do in the gym but it gives such a great workout for your lower body!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower of yours. I wish you all the luck on your weight loss!!

20 minutes!? You are the stairmaster! YEah I died around 7 minutes too. :( I do my own version at home and at work by climbing the stairs.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Saw you were a new follower for me so I stopped over to follow you as well. Great job on the stairmaster! You'll soon learn that I'm a proponent of exercise and the more the better! Looking forward to getting to know you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the stairclimber aka suicide. When I first started I could only do 10 minutes. Every time I went to the gym I increased my time by 5 minutes working my way up to 30 minutes. I ususally do 30 minutes. A few months a go a started working my way to an hour ( just to say that I did it). This is THE BEST piece of cardio in my opinion. AMAZING WORK for jumping on the bandwagon, your legs are going to be super sexy in no time!
