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!

How Long Does It Take To Lose 1 Pound?

July 16, 2016

We’ve all been there before. You’re a week into a new workout plan and excited about how things are going. You’ve been working out regularly and eating healthily. You feel like you’ve got more energy and that you’re well on your way to achieving those weight loss goals. At the end of the week the moment of truth arrives – time to assess all your hard work and weigh in. You step on the scale and wait nervously for the results. The number suddenly appears and this week you’ve managed to lose… 1 pound. 1 stinking, measly, otherwise-insignificant pound. All that exercising, eating healthy, and making those changes and you only lost 1 pound?!! “Well that was stupid” you think as you burn your workout clothes and head to the grocery store for 2 bags of Oreos.

Sound familiar? Unfortunately it happens to all of us. We start a new fitness program, we don’t see the immediate results we thought we would, and immediately our fitness program dies. This “lack of results” is one of the main reasons we start and then stop our fitness endeavors. But what if I told you the problem isn’t with your “lack of results” – the problem is with your perception of what should be happening. Today I wanted to talk more about that “one pound” you lost and why instead of quitting you should be celebrating an amazing victory!…

We often forget about the one little diet destroyer that hangs out a little bit lower on the label… SUGAR!

Newsflash – you eat what you buy (shocker, I know!). Oftentimes people express to me how difficult they feel that it is for them to eat healthy.
