Outdoor Stairs Workout

Nice warm weather calls us to places like city stairs for workouts. Stairs are a great workout cardiovascularly and for the the butt and legs. Add a little bit of upper body work and you've got your full body workout in!

First Set

Walk up the stairs for the first set. Reaching the top you can do a few stretches if you;d like before coming back down

Second Set

Pick up the pace a bit (if you can) going up the stairs.
At the top do 10 Tricep Dips. Can be done off a bench, rock, top stairs or from the ground.
walk down the stairs.
At the bottom for 10 push ups. Can be done from the ground and feet, ground and knees, of off the last few steps.

Third Set +

For the third set up to as many as you can do, repeat steps for the second set, just adding a bit more speed either up and/or down.

TIPS

Bring a small rock from the bottom of the stairs up each time you do a set to keep track of how many you have done.
Set goals for the amount of sets you want to do. Maybe each week you add a set.
Set time goals for how quickly you complete sets or workouts.
Increase the reps of the push ups and/or tricep dips occasionally to 12 or 15+.
