Wearing: my fav Gapfit tie back tank and bottoms
Humpday workout for you my frieeeeends! You ready for this awesome Stair Workout with a Resistance Band!
I’ve been trying to get to the beach to run the stairs once a week and it usually falls on Wednesdays! I love doing it in the middle of the week to break up my workouts and do something different. Plus….it flipping burns. Shoots my heart rate through the roof and my legs and booty are on fire! The last couple of weeks I’ve been meeting up with my girl Chrissa from Physical Kitchness and we kick each other’s booty’s while our kids play in the sand. It’s been so fun! If you’re local to San Diego and wanna come do death by stairs with us, we’d love it!
I did this one with resistance bands that I finally ordered on Amazon. They were so cheap and do the job for now. Use a band that feels like a good resistance–if your legs aren’t burning after the first round you’re not using heavy enough bands. Double up two to of the lighter ones or however you need to!
You can do this one without bands too if you don’t have any or just prefer it! Here we go….
Stair Workout with Resistance Band Workout
Run the stairs X 2
Modify if you need to- walk, jog, or run up and down the stairs two times.
Squat Jump Up with Band X 1
Wrap the band around your legs, right around the middle of your quads. Jump squat up the stairs (skipping one step each time). Walk or jog down.
Side Steps up the Stairs x 2
Start at the bottom with your feet together. Step one leg laterally across, stretching the band. Bring the other leg to meet it, step or jump up to the next step (skipping one step).
Side Leg Lift X 15 | Back Leg Lift X 15 { Each leg}
Hold on to the rail of the stairs, an edge, or stand in front of a wall and rest hands against it for balance. Then lift your right leg to the side, stretching the band up. Do this 15 times. Do leg lifts to the back next. 15 times, really squeezing the booty with each lift.
Do this on both legs.
Decline Push-ups with Side Steps X 15 (total pushups)
Hands are at the very bottom of the step, and feet several steps ups in the plank position. Do one pushup, then step your right leg out and back in, then your left leg out and back in ↓↓
Repeat the entire circuit 3-4 times!
Here’s a video that shows what everything looks like if you have questions! Take this workout to the high school track stadium, park stairs, beach stairs, anywhere you find some stairs!
Here’s a demo of the workout–enjoy friends!
