Did You Know?
- Physical Activity improves health. A little is good, but more is better.
- Canada's Physical Activity Guide recommends building physical activity
into all aspects of daily life- at home, at work, at school, at play and on the
way- that's active living.
- Daily living activities like climbing the stairs significantly
contribute to the 30 minutes of physical activity we all need...
everyday.
- Using the stairs burns twice as many calories as walking.
- Regular stair users have greater leg strength and aerobic
capacity than non climbers.
- Taking the stairs is often faster than waiting for the
elevator.
