A great way to burn extra calories is to use the stairs instead of the elevator. If it's been awhile since you exercised, start off slow. Set some goals for yourself. For example, if you only have three flights to ascend, then set a goal to go up and down the stairs at least four times throughout the day. {relatedarticles}Then keep increasing the times as you get more adjusted.

Keep adding more floors to your daily climb. Need inspiration? The owner of one of the most famous backsides in the business - Beyonce - climbs stairs to keep her booty toned.
