I did this workout on Friday and am just now updating my blog. I have given myself a cardio schedule–still haven’t themed them, but this was the day I was scheduled to do the Stairsmaster. I wasn’t looking forward to it. That machine is a killer. So I fooled around at home for an extra 30 minutes before I finally went to the gym. I have to say, worrying about doing the stairmaster was worse than actually doing it. it wasn’t as bad as I imaged it would be, and when I was done, I was glad I did it.
