Stop climbing stairs if you don’t have to!
And, for God’s sake, please don’t walk on an escalator. Stand. Relax. You’re going to have to walk when you get to the top anyway. What’s the rush?
The more stairs you climb, the more you think you are being “active.”
Here’s what happens, though. You skip the gym, so you take the stairs at work. Or you take the stairs, then when you eventually do go to the gym, you don’t work very hard.
Be lazy during the day. Work out when you are working out.
My cluddies never take the stairs. That’s because they work out so hard that their legs are too sore!
Are you working out that hard? Or are you taking the stairs?
