Completed 30 min. on Stairmaster but it still gets my heart rate too high in 1 or 2 spots, so I needed to support myself on my forearms to get the rate back in range. Eventually, conditioning should take over and I won't need to do that. This was the first time doing 30 minutes in a very, very long time.
The weather warmed up enough to take the doggies out early this afternoon, so we went for 3.1 miles.
About an hour after returning from the walk, my metabolism just crashed and I got cold and just couldn't get warmed up. Eating dinner helped and now I'm fine again.
I can feel the Stairmaster workout in my thighs and also in my hamstrings, even though I did some nice slow stretches of same before and after the workout. I feel I need to push myself a bit more on the exercise I'm doing and try to increase my heartrate while doing it. Not excessively, of course, but I think my longer walks are just not stressing my metabolism enough these days.
Tomorrow starts the 10x10x10 challenge, so I'll get to see how un-flexible I've become! This should be interesting.

Great job on the exercising, but please don't push yourself so much that you have a set back. If you get too sore, you won't want to workout and it will set you back. I know because I keep doing just that. What's 10x10x10? Hope it goes well for you and be careful.:)

10x10x10 is a challenge that just started and it has 10 exercises, mostly for the abdominal, butt and back muscles, as far as I can tell. You do 10 repetitions (1 set) of each of the 10 exercises each day for the first week. The second week, you do 2 sets of each, third week you do 3 sets, etc. By the 10th week, the goal is to be able to do 10 sets of each of the 10 exercises, hence the 10x10x10. I'll try to be careful...I'm still feeling yesterday's Stairmaster workout in my hamstrings this AM, so I know I'm not doing that today. But that's OK, as I did almost all the 10x10x10 exercises instead plus a 3.1 mile walk with the doggies (just 39 degrees when we went out today!).
