Often times at the gym we tend to head over to our favorite machine and do “the usual”. This week, challenge yourself to try a new machine. Have you been on the step mill or stair master lately. It may feel like a blast from the past but it’s a great way to change things and get your butt in gear! Try a hard 20 minute workout climbing stairs followed by another 20 minutes of jogging or ellipticalling.
