I had a fantastic workout yesterday.  I worked lower body, abs, and hit the Stairmaster for 30 minutes.  The Stairmater was done in intervals.  Man, it was hard.  I'm still tired and it was a day later.  I have levels of fat that needs to be removed from my mid-section.  I read where proper eating, weight training, and Stairmaster will accelerate fat burning around the mid section.
