Episode notes
Make Stairs A Mini Workout
- Take stairs whenever possible and step two at a time for more intensity.
- If two steps are too hard, step on the front half of your feet to increase glute and leg engagement.
Use Phone Time For Leg Lifts
- Do standing leg lifts while on phone calls, holding a chair or desk for balance if needed.
- Repeat 10–15 reps per side and add ankle weights to increase difficulty.
Turn Bathroom Breaks Into Sets
- On bathroom breaks, do wall push-ups, squats, and even 10 jumping jacks if space allows.
- Perform 10–12 reps for push-ups and squats, holding squats two seconds for best effect.
