1.      Take the Stairs Do you live in an elevator-equipped apartment community?  Rather than catching a lift to your floor, take the steps whenever you do not have too much to carry.  Stair climbing works several muscles in your legs and is a great way to burn calories and get fit.  If you live on the first floor or do not have an elevator, elect to take the stairs rather than an escalator or elevator at work, shopping malls, airports, and elsewhere when practical. 2.      Shape Up Your Home We don’t mean clean up, although housecleaning is a great way to […]
