Stair Exercises - #WorkoutWednesday Tip

My name is Patricia Allen and we're at Trung benefit with Trung Rehabilitation Center. Today we're looking at at home exercise routines that we can complete when life happens and we just can't make it to the gym. One of the at home exercise routines we can think about is body weight exercise and incorporation of stairs. If we have them low intensity, I can just walk up. Okay. If I want to add intensity, I can skip a step. Okay. And if I want a little bit more, making a chin. Okay. Come up to the top. When at the top, we can either do three or five times down and up. We can do durations of three to five minutes. But what we can incorporate in our stair climbs is additional body weight movements. Maybe at the top of our third time, coming down and up, we can do 10 air squats. Feet go outside. Shoulders. Chest stays nice and tall. Hips go back and down. 10 air squats getting into the lower extremities. From here we come down and work through our upper extremities into a push up. Okay. Hands go outside our shoulders. Feet are in hip width position. We're holding a plank. Lower chest to elbow height or drop your knees if you need to and do 10 push ups. From there we can roll over and incorporate the core, the abdominals within our body weight exercise. Feet come down, heels close to the bottom. Arms stretch to the thigh. Tuck your chin, lift your shoulders. Small pulse crunches here, locking in the abdomen. You can do 10. So at home we can't make it to the G. We can absolutely incorporate a great body weight exercise routine.
