1.  Climb stairs:-

With state-of-the-art infrastructure, every mall, station or theaters have escalators, but if you have flights of stairs at home, use them to climb up and down at least thrice or more times a day. It is a great exercise, which tones one’s lower body and strengthens the bones of the legs. If you don’t have a stairway in close proximity, use a step stool. Try doing the following exercises by taking the stairs to involve multiple muscle groups in your home cardio exercises.

♦ Climb stairs as you normally do.

♦ Skip a step while climbing stairs to work on your hamstrings and gluts.

♦ To work up the sides of your waist and thighs, climb the stairs by standing sideways.
