    Home / Office Workout

    CardioStairs - Step onto the first step and then back down, then walk up 2 steps and then back to thebottom. Next walk up 3 steps and then back to the bottom and so on until you have gone to the top.

    Now repeat that with the other leg leading the action.

    2 Stair Stepping Walk to the top of the stairs taking 2 at a time. Repeat on the other leg. Nowrepeat this at a faster pace depending on your fitness levels.

    Jogging Elevate your heart rate and combine jogging on the spot for 1 minute with jogging orwalking up the stairs as described above. Vary the amount of time you spend on each and theamount of repetitions you do. Start so you do 5 times 15 minutes stairs and jogging.

    Skipping Either with or without a rope.Combine skipping with jogging and the stair routine and you can easily create a 20 minute workout.Try working out to music to keep you motivated.

    For example: 5 x 1 minute jog on the spot + 1 minute skipping + 2 minutes of stair work

    Below are some exercises for toning, they can be combined with the above cardio workout orsimply done at the end. Here are some examples of exercises for the major muscle groups.

    LegsStair lunges Stand on the first step. Step the right foot back onto the floor and bend the left knee(aim to get the left knee to 90 degrees) now bring the right foot back onto the first step and thenrepeat on the other side aim to do 20 -30 per set.Now repeat i.e. 20 lunge backs on the right then repeat on the left.

    For those a little more adventurous

    Stair jumps place the left foot onto the first step. Now jump so that the right foot lands on thestep and the left foot now lands on the floor repeat these 20 times or complete 1 minute ofcontinuous work.

    Calf Raises These are simple yet effective. Step forward onto the first step and then place theballs of your feet towards the edge so that your heels are off the end of the steps. Now raiseyourself up and lower down under control repeat 20 times.

    Chest and back of armsStair press ups Depending on your strength levels choose a step high enough so you can pressyour body weight up. Complete as many as you can x 3 (aim for 20). As you progress your aim isto move down the steps until you are doing full press ups on the floor.You can also repeat the above as a tricep press up (keep the elbows tucked into the side of thebody)

    Tricep dips sit on the first step. Now place your feet out in front of you and place your hands tothe side of your body. Now lift your body weight off the stairs by straightening at the elbows.Repeat as many as you can x 3 (aim for 20)

    AbdominalsA simple abdominal curl-lie on your back bend knees and pull your abdominals in tight. Now curl up

    your chest from the floor towards your thighs. You only need to go through a small range ofmovement to be effective. Keep abdominals pulled in tight throughout. Aim for 3 x 15 -30.
