Did over 4 miles on the stairs today. It took me 30 minutes aend I burned 510 calories! Phhew! I sweat buckets when I do the stairs. And after that, I still have another hour to do the rest of my work out which mainly consists of leg presses.
I'm obsessing about my legs lately. I feel like my theighs rub together when I walk and that my legs should be more muscular. So leg presses and hip flexers it is.

Da gym.
While I was running every day, I didn't see the point in going to the gym. I hated the idea of getting in a workout in front of everyone. I felt as if everyone there would be staring at the fat girl trying to run on the treadmill. So, I ran outside. I ran almost every day. And running, is how I lost my 50+ pounds of baby weight.
Now that I'm down (to)wards my goal weight, I don't run as much. And when I do run, (outside) now that I'm down in North Cacki Lackie, I've come to realize how hard it IS to run down here. I haven't gotten used to the heat. Nope, it's awful! I just can't get my breathing down.
Sooo, I go to the gym. I go Monday,Tuesday,Thurs, and Friday with Wednesdays and Saturdays off. I try to run around the neighborhood on Sunday nights. Anyway, I love it!
We're practically regulars there now. We drop the boys off at day care and hit the gym for an hour and a hafl each day.
I normally start witrh cardio. I'll either run on the treadmill or do the stairs.
Today, I ran 2 miles on the treamill. Then did my abs, legs, and arms.. then ended with 3 miles on the stairs. All in all, a pretty good workout I think.
If you haven't done the stairs at the gym, I suggest it. It's a crazy workout. I sweat an insane amount..and love it. It's one of those workouts that you really feel like you've accomplished something. I do it at 110 steps per minute for 20ish minutes. That's about 3 miles. I'm working up to 30 minutes. If you do that baby for an hour and 110 steps per minute, you are supposed to burn over 1,000 calories. PHEW! I coudln't imagine spending all of my gym time on the stairs..
