Burn 500 Calories on the Stairclimber

Stairclimber

If you consider yourself the queen of the stair-climbing machine, try this boredom-busting calorie burner from Keli Roberts, the group fitness manager at Equinox Fitness Club in Pasadena, California. To avoid cheating on the calorie burn, remember to stand upright with your abdominals firm, and don't lean into the side rails. To get an even better workout, go hands-free and pump your arms, as if you were running.
