{Take the stairs}

This motivational picture on pinterest rang a bell...

If you have been to our classes, you know you get a stair climbing workout before you even hit the studio! 
It is such an easy way to get moving AND to challenge yourself. 
Plus, did you know...

"Stair-climbing has been shown to raise good cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health? And it has Green effects too: taking the stairs also advances New York City's GreeNYC effort to reduce energy consumption. An escalator that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, can use 28,000 kilowatt hours of energy over the course of a year. That’s enough to create 43,000 pounds of carbon dioxide – more than three times the amount a car produces!" (From the NYC Dept. of Health)

Try taking the stairs in your building or when you come back from your lunch break.
