This morning I met my Daddy-O at the Gym at 4:45 {YIKES!}
I. Was. Tired. I was glad to be there!
{Thank goodness I have someone to meet there or else I wouldn't go.}
So if you need a little motivation to get the gym...GET A FRIEND to meet you there! Believe me...it helps!
We worked out our backs and triceps! My Dad told me to do a pull-up...uh… ya right! I can't even do one. But I will get there eventually.
I did a killer 30 minutes stair master {stair stepper, whatever you call it} workout that I put together so that it wouldn't be such a drag.
At the end I had burned a little over 350 calories! Woah!
Here it is:
{The stair stepper levels are in steps per minute but in case your gym levels by levels, I will include that too}
Note: Make sure you have water and a towel close by! YOU WILL NEED IT!!!
