20 Incredibly Simple Swaps That Will Change Your LIfe

20. Trade The Elevator For The Stairs

One of the best and easiest swaps you can do in order to help make your life that little bit healthier and better, is to swap out the escalator or elevator for the regular, good-old-fashioned stairs. Yes, it might take a little bit more time to get your no-doubt-important meeting, but it has some truly fantastic health benefits, as well as affording you the opportunity to look so busy and in charge, even if you're really just power-walking up those stairs to get a donut from the break room. Taking the stairs instead of the lift can have a number of great benefits - it can contribute towards your amount of daily recommended exercise, can help increase the strength in your legs, help you maintain a healthy weight, and improve your aerobic capacity and levels of good cholesterol. Taking the stairs is a simple way to start off your new regime for living a better life, and trading them in for a walk upon down your stairs at work, seems like a very fair deal indeed...
