Ease into stair exercises without taking a step.
- Firmly place your hands on a step. Your hands should be directly under your shoulders.
- Push your toes into the floor and extend your legs into a plank position. You should feel your core (stomach) muscles working.
- Inhale and bend your elbows. Lower your body until your chest is just above the stairs.
- Exhale while straightening your arms and raising your body back to the starting position.
- Keep your neck and back in a neutral position during this exercise. Don't let your hips drop.
