Ya’ll I’m so proud of myself. I’ve been doing an hour on the stair-master 6 days a week (on weekends and when I have work days off I try to do 2 rounds a day) for like 4 months. I’m 188 pounds. My goal in December was 185 by mid February but I might exceed it. I was like 205/210 and now look!! 🙌🏿❤️🥹

Back day. And an hour of cardio
