Another Stair Workout

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

My friends and I went to Kiptopeke State Park last weekend and decided to go on a little trail adventure. We found a nice shaded trail and my favorite feature of the built environment: a staircase! Stairs are such a great way to kick up the intensity of your workout. You might want to consider planning an encounter with stairs during your next run/walk in your neighborhood for a cardio bonus.

Here's a pyramid workout we did:

Round 1:
- Take the stairs up two steps at a time (up and down once)
- 10 push ups of your choice

Round 2:
- Side step up the stairs facing the left
- Walk back down
- Side step up the stairs facing the right
- Walk back down
- 10 squatting rows

Round 3:
- Sprint up the steps (up and down three times)
- 10 lunges on each side

Round 4:
Repeat Round 2

Round 5:
Repeat Round 1

In health,
Lauren
