... decreased in just 30 - 40 days of exercising.

I was pushing 130/100 and worried about my next trip to the Doctor - don't want to go on BP medicine.

I'm back down under 120/80. Like 117 over 75 ish.

I have a commercial quality stair master machine (the one that looks like an escalator) that I purchased 10 years ago (when I had money). I've been using that thing after a 2 year-ish hiatus.

I feel ten times better.

I don't know what happened to me the last several years but I'm starting to crave exercising again.
