Simple Cardio at Home

You don't want to go to the gym over Christmas but you want to get some cardio in right? Then I've got a fun 20 minute workout for you. All you need is some stairs in your house. That's right, you'll be running stairs.

Most times I suggest this one people groan. "Not stairs Devin." It really is a killer workout but it'll give you a lot more exercise than jogging on that treadmill you hang clothes on.

It's really easy to do. Just jog stairs, hitting everyone of them, for 20 minutes. Now it might not be complicated, but it is hard. You'll be winded and red in the face, but it's better than skipping out on exercise all together. And you'll be happy you did it. It'll help relieve some of the stress of Christmas. And you'll feel a little like Rocky when you're done... or maybe that's just me.

Plus if you want to make it a little more exciting then do a set of 10 pushups at the top of the stairs and a set of 20 crunches at the bottom. That will add just a little spice. :)
