Good job! That is great!!!! The stairmaster is such a butt kicker, but help create a nice booty shelf! Keep it up!

That is awesome, congrats! And I love the mantra - I tell myself similar things when I'm doing workouts I don't like

Awesome job! Seriously! I can usually only do 3 minutes on that damn thing! ha But I do it at the end of a leg workout so maybe thats why. Not looking at the clock HAD to help. I always glance every 10 seconds and think in my head "ONLY 10 SECONDS HAS GONE BY?!" haha

Uh-uh. It's like this never ending cascade of stairs. There are three steps that come around like a conveyer belt and you just climb and climb and climb.

I use it to stretch before running. It's great! I stretch my calves on the bars that hold it up and then I put my foot up on one of the steps and stretch out the hamstrings. That's my experience with the stair master!
