Fat Blast: 15 Minutes of Stairs

Do you have 15 minutes and an empty staircase? I was reminded that stairs pack in a punch of fat blast with Oxygen Magazine’s March 2015 issue. They recommended to “find a set of stairs in a nearby stadium, high school, or even in your apartment or office building and get your burn on! For each time increment, do as many flights as you can of the directed activity and rest the remainder of the time. Jog or walk back down the stairs after each completed flight up.”

You only have FIFTEEN minutes so move like this…..

Walk up the stairs one at a time.
Walk up the stairs two at a time.
Jog up the stairs one at a time, moving your feet and arms quickly.
Run up the stairs two at a time, pushing off strongly from your rear foot.
“Skate” up the stairs one at a time, leaping from side to side as you ascend as if skating.
Run up the stairs two at a time.
Jog up the stairs one a a time.
Walk up the stairs one at a time.

Each step should only take you two minutes! Don’t trust those legs to skate or run!?! Walk up the stairs. Walk down. Can’t get 15 minutes in on your first round of steps this spring—do one song. Two songs. And move at your own rhythm…..

Set mini goals for yourself———-and if you’ve been working out challenge yourself to revamp your normal workout routines.

Go YOU!
