My legs are finally hurting from yesterday. Hey, “No pain, No gain,” as Auntie Betty Wright would say. Today I have a date with stairs. I haven’t ran up and down stairs since high school. This is going to be a real test of discipline. I wish I had a portable mp3 player. I need some Mary J. in my ear pushing me through! Are you rolling with me….let’s Work That!
Day 3
Today is all about Cardio!!!
Running Stairs
This can be done on any stairs ( a school stadium, hotel, or even at home). No Excuses!
Do at least 20 – 30 minutes.
Try doing them in sets of 5. Up and down equals 1 set. After you have done 5 sets, take a 2 min break, then start the next set until you have gone at least 20 – 30 mins.
If you are at a school, then up is 1, down is 2, continue until you hit 5. Take a 2 min break, and repeat until you have done your 20 – 30 mins of cardio.
Update: I rode around and couldn’t find a school with stairs tall enough for my workout. (*sigh*) So the next best thing was this hill/mini mountain at a local park. The incline was perfect enough for me to simulate stairs by lifting my legs a bit higher. My legs are throbbing but in a good way. I’ve noticed I have so much energy after I work out. Are you up for the challenge?
