I have been doing a stair-climbing interval workout during my lunch break at work. I start with a 2 minute warm up walking to the far end of the building (becasue the staircase in the parking ramp is the longest one in the building). Then I go up the stairs for one minute and down for one minute, repeating until I've gone up stairs 9 times. I can't go up longer than one minute because I run out of floors, but it does get my heart pumping and I do work up a sweat. After my 9th up interval do a 2-3 minute cool down by going back down to level 2 (where my office is) and walking back to the other end of the building. It's a 21 minute total workout, add a couple of minutes to stop in the restroom to splash cold water on my face and neck, and that pretty much takes up my 30 minute lunch break. I try to do this twice a week. I am noticing that it has gotten easier to go up the stairs. I use a free ipod interval timer called gymboss, it's really handy to keep track of how long each interval is.
