According to Teh Kong Chuan of the Singapore Sports Council, "If you work on the 4th floor and take the stairs up and down 4 times per day, you can burn about 200 calories in a 5 day work week which is equivalent to an hour of brisk walking or half an hour of moderate cycling."
Nichole Kerr, a researcher with the Centers for Disease Control also says that we can lose about 10 pounds during the course of a year if we spend ten minutes a day going up and down stairs.
Sounds good?
Other daily habits that can help us have a trim body include:
- Do leg lunges while mowing the lawn, and leg squats while lifting plants during gardening activities.
- Walk often when allowed everyday.
- Do exercises like jumping jacks, rope jumping and running in place while watching TV.
