10/12/22-Take the Stairs

Welcome to Fall! We are taking small steps to improve our health to turn October into Walktober! Walking is a great way to increase physical activity at home, work, or anywhere with open space. Walking can increase your cardiovascular endurance, reduce your risk of heart disease, and improve both mind and body health.

This week’s workout is to try to take the stairs! Stair climbing is a great way to increase lower leg strength and increase your caloric expenditure. If you do not have stairs at your facility, you can bring your knees up as you walk to increase the intensity of your exercise.
