Skater Steps

by POPSUGAR Fitness 7

I've been really into running (and walking) stairs lately, but it can get a little tedious so I found a way to switch it up while still doing the stairs. All you have to do is add Skater Steps into your workout. Here's how:

• Stand facing stairs.
• Start by stepping your right foot onto the right edge side of first step.
• Then push off of your right foot and step onto your left foot to the left edge side of next step. You should feel like you are speed skating.
• Now keep alternating sides all the way up the stairs.

To see how I incorporate skater steps into my own stair workout, just read more.

*Use at least one or two flights of stairs, or more if you're up for the challenge.

Skater Steps are a great addition because they target the outside of the leg and hip, ensuring that you get a fuller workout since stairs tend to work the front and back of your legs. Try it next time you climb the stairs!
