Step It Up!

Want to get a good workout but don't have time or money for the gym, find a set of stairs!

You can get some good strength-training and burn quite a few calories with nothing more than a stairs as your tool.

Try some of these moves put together by personal trainer Kevin Charles.

Warm Up: Walk up and down a set of stairs twice to get your heartbeat elevated.

Interval Stair Climb: Run up the stairs and walk slowly down. Repeat for a total of 8 reps. If you want to make this even more challenging, try running up the stairs using every other step. This is a great cardiovascular workout and it will also work your glutes and leg muscles.

Elevated Push Ups: Do regular push ups but rather than put your hands on the ground, put them on a second step. For an extra challenge, lift one leg off the ground and extend it back, alternating legs for each set. Do 3 sets of 10-12. This will work your chest and triceps.

Tricep Dips: Stand with your back to the steps. Lean back and place your hands on the second step and move your legs forward. Slowly bend your elbows so that your butt lowers to the floor. Once your butt is almost at ground level, straighten your arms so your body moves back to the starting position. Do 3 sets of 10-12 dips. This is great for your triceps and also stabilizes your core muscles.

Elevated Lunge: Stand facing the stairs. Lunge forward, placing your forward foot on the second step and bending so that your back knee is at a 90 degree angle. Do 10 reps on one leg and then repeat with the other leg. Do 3 sets of both legs. This is great for your legs and glute muscles.
