This workout is perfect for outdoors or indoors – if you are outdoors, find a local high school stadium or even a building with a large flight of stairs (I have a church in my neighborhood that has a great flight of cement stairs I use). If you are indoors, use the stairs in your house, the flight of stairs that leads up to your apartment, or even the stairs in a hotel. There is no excuse to not try this workout!

For this workout, I used a flight of stairs that had 20 stairs. If yours has less stairs (i.e. only 10), double the time or reps of each exercise for a killer workout!

Want to push yourself? I have included challenge exercises to try if you are an experienced stair climber!

With the beautiful weather and the kiddos out of school, my kids are wanting to play outside every single day. Rather than let their play interfere with whatever workout time I may have had, I decided to design a workout that you could do in the backyard while your kids are running around (sometimes they even get in on it with me and sprints become games of tag!). Even if you don’t have a large backyard immediately available, you could easily do this in a park or anywhere outdoors (or even indoors) that gives you a little room to move. So lace up and let’s get outside! We’ve got some wok to do……
