Climbing stairs everyday? Does it really work?

Now, you always here people say that if you don't have the time to exercise everyday to park your car further away from the entrance of work and stores, to take the stairs instead of the elevator, yadda, yadda, yadda!

Well, believe me when I tell you this works! The parking lot at work is already far from the entrance so I'm walking more and I work on the 4th floor so I take the stairs EVERY day, EVERY time I need to go to another floor and my thighs and butt have slimmed down and those along with my calves have toned up. Who knew this really worked? I thought it was BS. But people have noticed and FH keeps telling me what a great a$$ I have!!

So this has motivated me to start cutting out carbs, sugar and excess fat from my diet and I'm now starting to look slimmer in my stomach, waist and hips.

So there's something to be said for using everyday activities as exercise! Just wanted to share.

Maybe it is a SUNY thing, because I walk at least 1/3 of a mile and then up 3 flights of stairs to get to my office.

Might be a SUNY thing....not so bad when it's a beautiful day out, I'm not looking forward to those bitter winter mornings though! Plus I don't trust the elevator....

Yesterday, the day it poured, I was SOAKED!!! I have to leave an extra pair of pants in my office for days like that.

Sun, Mon, Tues, Fri & Sat I take classes at my gym. I love Step, it is my favorite. I also take a Body Scuplting class on Saturday, in additon to my cardio class. I need to do more Body Scuplting, but it is not one of my favorite classes.

Wed & Thurs is technically my days off from the gym but I decided to walk with one of my collegues at lunch for 1/2hr.

I am also one of those people that are very lazy when it comes to excersize. Instead I park further from where I am going, and I take the stairs all the time. I find that it may help out a little bit in my weight loss.
