KHo Fit Tip of the Day - Take the Stairs!

Okay guys, here's a simple tip you can use daily!  Take the stairs whenever possible!!!

Back in college, I remember telling this tip to Shape Magazine and they actually featured it in their magazine and gave me credit for it!  It's simple, it's a small change you can do that will affect your life, your health, your fitness in a huge way!

Just now, I came home with 5 bags of groceries!  I'm strong, I'm healthy, I can make one trip!  The thought of taking the elevator went through my mind... but then I said to myself... "Why wait for the elevator?  I can handle this!"  I took the stairs instead even with all that extra baggage!

Some of you may think I'm a little nuts but that's okay, I don't care! LOL I'm not telling you to take the stairs at the most inconvenient time... but if you're capable of it, then do it.

Everyday at work, I park on a different level... sometimes the 4th floor... but still I take the stairs!

Everyday I leave and come home, I take the stairs to my apartment!

It literally takes 30 seconds of my day to choose the stairs over the elevator!  At the end of the week, that's maybe 50 flights of stairs (and sometimes with weight LOL)... I may be lugging my heavy gym bag, purse, groceries, whatever!  It's a whole workout for some people if you think about it.

Another huge benefit... you're saving electricity!  You're helping our wonderful earth!  You're staying fit without really realizing it.  You're working out those legs.  It's easy!  Go do it!

I hope you think "KHo loves me!" next time you take the stairs! LOL  Now go have a wonderful day filled with lots of stair climbing! :)
