Pledge to take the stairs
Did you know climbing stairs for 1 minutes burns 8 - 11 calories? That's high compared to other moderate intensity exercise. Choosing the stairs over an elevator or escalator can help you achieve and maintain a healthy body weight, which is important in reducing your risk of heart disease (and it's great for your bone and joints, too!)
