While my yoga mat is hugely responsible for my sanity these days, my fitness routine needs a change of pace. So, I'm taking my workouts to new heights with the staircase.
"Stairs are functional – they can be used for so much more than just simply helping us to reach our step goals," says Beth Perez, a NASM-certified personal trainer and owner of MB TwinFit.
She's the mastermind behind the balance-improving, full-body staircase circuit I never knew I needed.
"The next time you take down a load of laundry, I challenge you to give this circuit a try," Perez says.
But first, warm up your body by walking or jogging up and down the stairs three to five times to elevate your heart rate.
Once you're ready, perform the following circuit three times, resting as needed between rounds.
