Thanks, Sally! I tackled the StairMaster at the gym today. It looks a lot more imposing than it actually was. I only did it for about 5 minutes post workout. I went up to Level 8 which was very doable without being thrown off the back! Seriously, I think it will be a fun alternative whenever HIIT starts.
I read a couple of threads and watched a couple of videos about deadlifts and I decided to use risers today to hold the bar at the height it will be when 45 plates are on it. It made the exercise so much easier than lifting from the ground up! I deadlifted 65# today. I think I can go heavier next time...
