Bound up the stairs

By Kashi Read more cardio, daily challenge, heart health, and toning up
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Don’t just take the stairs today – run them. Sound intimidating? Just remember that if you can only do five steps comfortably, there’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone has to start somewhere. Today, challenge yourself to skip the elevator or escalator and add two stairs every time you run a flight. _Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine._

    I live on the 6th floor of my dorm and I try to always take the stairs! Running them is SO hard!

    Will exercise more even if it means climbing the stairs at work. Sick of people offering me seats on the train because they think I’m pregnant. Gave birth 11 months ago!!!
