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!
