Stair climbing is AMAZING exercise!!!
& it's FREE!
People who climb 2 flights of stairs a day lose up to 5.9lbs (2.7kg) in a year.
Make it 6 flights & you can lose up to 18lbs (8.2kg).
Fairly big pay off for a minimal effort.

is often faster than waiting for the elevator
& burns 5 times as many calories as being transported in one.

Stair climbing increases bone density which helps prevent osteoporosis
& can reduce blood pressure & cholesterol.
According to a Swiss study, it can also extend your life expectancy by up to 15%.
Take steps one at a time for maximum effect.
No need to race, if you plateau just add more flights.
Don't forget to breathe!
You will need lots of oxygen to get those leg muscles going,
so breathe steady.
