Happy National Take the Stairs Day!

Studies have shown that the risk of cardiovascular disease is lower in those who regularly take the stairs. Climbing just two flights a day can help you lose six pounds a year. Stairs can even be a great stress reliever at work when you’re feeling a little overwhelmed; take a few minutes and walk up and down the stairs for an emotional cool down. Taking the stairs is also the “green” way to go—the only energy used is human power. Start climbing.
