The first tip is a simple one:

TAKE THE STAIRS!

Here are some figures to help you along:
  • There are 140 stairs from ground to level 5 that take approximately 2 minutes to complete.
  • With a conservative estimate of taking the stairs 4 times a day (Up the stairs in the morning, down and up again at lunch, and down when leaving work) this means you will cover 560 stairs in a day (8 minutes)
  • Over a working week you will cover 2800 stairs, the equivalent of an extra gym session a week (40mins)
  • There are approximately 230 working days in a year
  • That means you will cover 128,800 stairs in a year for a total exercise period of 30 hours! Now how many extra gym workouts does that equate to....LOTS!
  • Remember it is the every day bits and pieces outside the gym that really makes the difference when trying to lose weight.
  • So take your lazy finger away from that lift button and start climbing those stairs!

Til next month,

Chris
