The Stairway to a Heavenly Body

When I was in college I lived on the fifth floor of my dorm. That's five flights of stairs that I climbed at least twice a day, causing some huffing and puffing, but otherwise simply inserting a few minutes of cardio into my day without much effort. Sure, I could have taken the elevator, but I wouldn't have gotten the heart pumping, calorie burning benefits from just standing there, avoiding eye contact with others.

So, you think you can't fit in gym time? Go find some stairs! Are you going to the mall? Park a few floors above or below where you need to be and jog the stairs towards your destination. Take the solid steps instead of the escalator. Seek out and learn to enjoy those stairs because each one is leading you closer to your healthier self! (Plus your claves will look just smashing.)
