Stair Challenge

My employer, who is also a trainer, challenged me to try using the stair machine without holding onto the handrails. I accomplished that challenge and I felt the burn! It was hard and my breathing was off, but I pushed through it and did twenty minutes on the stairs. I do other things on the stairs which require me to hold on, so total minutes without was about thirteen. I go sideways, backwards, and every other step for about a minute each. This works different muscles in my legs.
