They might be intimidating.There's over 1 million just on this campus.
But their health benefits are amazing!
I'm talking about STAIRS!
Climbing stairs for 1 minute burns 10 calories, not to mention improves leg muscles and knee strength. You can add up your stair climbing each day to reach the recommended 30 minutes of exercise.
Using the elevator uses a lot of electricity just to take you a few flights, and most of the time, waiting for the elevator takes longer than just taking the stairs!
A study has shown that even two flights of stairs climbed per day can lead to 2.7 kg weight loss over one year (Brownell, Stunkard, and Albaum, 1980).
So, be sustainable and get your exercise by taking the stairs next time.
