If you find yourself very busy especially this time of year there are other ways to try and stay fit.
I have found and did my research as well that climbing stairs is a good exercise…
According to the Duke wellness program is based upon research that shows using the
stairs over a period of months has significant health benefits. A study
in European Heart Journal followed 69 hospital employees who
ditched the elevator for the stairs for roughly 90 days. The employees gained  the following benefits:
Body fat dropped 1.7%
