San Francisco’s Stairmaster
I’ve heard people talk about it. But have never seen it or experienced it for myself. Until today.
This morning, I decided to take my usual indoor workout routine outdoors. And found myself at the bottom of SF’s Stairmaster, where Green Street meets Lyon in Pacific Heights. I looked up the two sets of stairs, and took a deep breath. Did I really want to put myself through this at 8 in the morning? Hell yes!
This is absolutely, hands down, the best outdoor workout in the city. Not only are the 269 steps a rigorous cardio workout, the views are absolutely stunning. The first set of stairs is super steep, and I was a little afraid that my size 11 feet would not be able to have a handle on the steps. But I managed! The second set of steps is not nearly as steep, and has landings (break points) every 20 steps or so.
Once you get to the top of the steps, at Broadway and Lyon, the views are breathtaking. The 269 steps it took to get there are all worth it!
