Today's Exercise Tip
Going up? Take the stairs
Work a little extra activity into your day by skipping the elevator when you can. Start by taking the stairs anytime you go up or down one floor. Then work your way up to three or four floors or more. Better yet, opt for a more intense workout by running up and down staircases at the park, the gym or a nearby stadium. Run up one flight, then walk down — repeat as many times as you can!
