Small Steps to Better Health
Taking the stairs is a great way to incorporate more physical activity into your day. In fact, one study published in Preventive Medicine found that after just 12 weeks, people who regularly climbed stairs had increased stamina, reduced their weight by 1%, reduced their waist circumference by 2%, and showed signs of lowered blood pressure and bad LDL-cholesterol. Small daily choices really add up!
When you pick up your April Take 10 Walking Punch Card, look on the back. You will find an additional Stairwell challenge this month! Take the stairs at least once sometime during your workday and give yourself and "X". Completed cards will be entered to win a fun prize!
