Hey Everyone!
This weekend I was craving some variety in my workouts. So I ventured down to the neighborhood stadium for an amazing stadium stair workout!! I had the entire stadium to myself and seriously loved it! To top it off I burned just over 600 calories without even thinking about it! It was so much better than feeling like a lab rat on the elliptical at the gym!
Stairs are a one of the best ways to both target your glutes, quads, and hamstrings while simultaneously getting your heart rate thumping! You will boost your fat and calorie burn by adding strength and toning moves between your stair runs! You can find stairs at parks, your local high school stadium, office parks, inside your apartment building, or your home!
