"My laundry
room is in the basement. Rather than taking the
clean, folded laundry back upstairs to the
bedrooms in a laundry basket, I take a small pile
in my arms, put it away, then run back downstairs
for another small load. You can get several sets
of stairs done while putting your laundry away.
Also, I make sure that empty jars go downstairs in
the pantry one at a time. Be less efficient
with your trips and you'll maximize the benefits
of stair running!" ~ Donna
"I heard of
this in Weight Watchers years ago and have been
practicing it since, whenever possible. Don't
always look for the parking spot closest to the
door at the mall, grocery store or other shopping
areas. Parking farther away forces us to walk a
little more and those few extra steps add up.
(Another plus: your vehicle is less likely
to get 'dinged' if it's in an area where fewer
cars are parked.)" ~ Linda in Minnesota
"When my cats want
me to play with them, I'll run through the house dragging
their yarn or fishing-pole toy. They like to chase
a fast-moving object, and I get a little extra exercise
from all the running." ~ Anne Marie
"Two simple things I do to get more movement into my day is to park farther away from the stores and to take the steps instead of riding the elevator or escalator." ~ Gail "I
always park at the far end of the parking lot from the
store I am going to.
