Stairwell Workout

/

You are in luck if you have stairs at home or have access to stairs.  No equipment needed.  But bring your focus and energy!

WU:  Walk up and down stairs 2X.  Jog up and down stairs 3X.  PLEASE BE CAREFUL.  I need to remind myself of this, I'm considerably clumsy for a former dancer.

Main Workout

  • 30 seconds ON/5 seconds rest - Incline push-ups on a stair
  • 30 seconds ON/5 seconds rest - Stand up for jogging toe taps (on just one stair while at bottom of stairwell)
  • Jog up and down stairwell 3X
  • 30 seconds ON/5 seconds rest - Right leg up 2 stairs - squat down and lift Left leg up to side to work abductors

  • 30 seconds ON/5 seconds rest - Toe raises with heels hanging off back of stair
  • 30 seconds ON/5 seconds rest - With both feet, hop up to next stair (or 2 or 3 if you dare) then back down.  Goal is to move fast!
  • Jog up and down stairwell 3X
  • 30 seconds ON/5 seconds rest - tricep dips with hands on stair
  • 30 seconds ON/5 seconds rest - Flip back over for incline push-ups with hand on stairs; however, turn just your body and stack your feet so that essentially your body and feet are in a side plank but your chest is facing straight down to the floor.  Now do push-ups!  15 seconds each side.

Cool down is your choice!

This is just a quick and simple way to burn some calories, work up a sweat, get strong, and burn off some nervous energy!

Enjoy and Be Well.
