I got to thinking about more things you can do on the steps. Let’s say that you’re just absolutely reticent in the fact that you’re not going to a gym. I don’t blame you: total waste of time. You got your steps. Let’s say you’ve got three steps on the back porch. Perfect. Here’s your workout. My two favorite things are going to be crashed together. You get to do push ups and stair steps.You’re engaging your forearms, your triceps, your biceps, your chest, your shoulders, your back, your abs, your thighs. Just 5-10 minutes a day.

I got to thinking about more things you can do on the steps. Let’s say that you’re just absolutely reticent in the fact that you’re not going to a gym. I don’t blame you: total waste of time. You got your steps. Let’s say you’ve got three steps on the back porch. Perfect. Here’s your workout. My two favorite things are going to be crashed together. You get to do a pushup hold and stair steps. If you do these five minutes a day so here’s what you’re going to do. You get into a pushup position. You’re engaging your forearms, your triceps, your biceps, your chest, your shoulders, your back, your abs, your thighs. Then, if you actually do a pushup and then come back up, you’re building strength and cardio capabilities.

But then what you’re going to do is you’re going to stand up, and on the bottom step you’re just going to go back and forth, 10 times, just like that. Now you’re working your calves, your quads, your hamstrings, your butt, your core again, heart, lungs. You’re releasing all kinds of endorphins and enzymes that help get rid of this messy stuff in the middle.

Again, you want to be at a nice angle, just in case you’re new to pushups. Maybe that’s uncomfortable? Go to the next step. Hey, you can’t see me. Get your body over your hands. Get your back nice and straight. Down and up. Work to get 10 of those. Say that’s too easy? Lift your leg. Get 10 of those. Say that’s too easy? Get one of the kids to sit on your head. [laughs]

Next, do 10 of those, then you’re going to do 10 of these. Maybe go up a couple of steps, come down a couple of steps. Watch where you’re going. Just keep moving.

I just gave you a workout. An awesome workout. The kind of workout that I would do, and probably do do, more than you think, except I wear a 50 pound pack and do it on rocks. But you’ll see that on other episodes.

Again, so simple. Stairs, your feet, pushup, a little jogging, 5-10 minutes a day. Don’t eat crap. Don’t go to yoga happy hour, like we talked before. Drink a lot of water. Don’t drink pop. That’s about it.

Tune in again. I can’t wait to see what I’m going to do later. See ya!
