Let me tell you, I never thought the staircase I climb to get to my bedroom loft could be used as a home gym, but as it happens it can. I heard something the other day about this and it sounded interesting, so this morning I Google'd and I found
this article on
womenshealthmag.com.
There were four exercises preceded by a two minute stair-walking warm up.
- Side squat
Works core, back, hamstrings, inner thighs, quads, and calves
- Spider-man pushup
Works shoulders, rotator cuffs, triceps, chest, core, hips, and glutes
- Stair dips with bridge
Works neck, shoulders, triceps, wrists, chest, core, glutes, and legs
- Rotational reach
Works shoulders, core, and back
I had a little trouble with the Spider-man Pushup. I'm not completely sure I was doing it right... but this is definitely an exercise routine I intend to revisit, so I'll work on it. This is a workout you really can feel and it takes very little time to get through. Women's Health suggests two non-consecutive days a week. I highly recommend it.
