Well, unfortunately the polar vortex does not seem to be letting up in Kansas City! I think tomorrow morning it is suppose to be -16! Ugh, it’s sad when the prospect of 22* is exciting. If you’re anything like me walking the dog is a big part of your routine and I think both the dog and I are going a little crazy being stuck inside because of these temperatures. In an attempt to change up my workout routine I did my entire workout on the stairs; check it out below and let us know if you complete the workout on your own.

Warm Up: 3 minutes Stair Run (or walk)

Workout: Perform each exercise for 1 minute resting when necessary, repeat 2-3 times for a total body workout.

• Squats (tapping booty on the 2nd stair each time)

• Push Ups (to make it more difficult perform decline push-ups by placing feet on second step and hands on the floor)

• Mountain Climbers

• Rear Foot Elevated Lunge (place back foot on 2nd step) (30 seconds each leg)

• Triceps Dips

• Toe Taps on Stairs

• Stair Step Ups (alternate legs stepping up to 2nd or 3rd step)

• Plank Position Shoulder Taps (to make more difficult put feet on 2nd step)
