A few weeks back, HEAT gave new meaning to the term "stair workout" when we gathered at the Frost Bank Tower to help make a video promo for the American Lung Association's 2010 Fight for Air Climb event (coming up on May 15). Campers ran from the 1st to the 31st floor in a timed challenge, with the winner completing this amazing feat in only 5:58!
Short workout, you say? Oh but there was so much more! Once campers made their way to the top, the real sweating began. In a space with a 360-degree view and an open floor plan, we mixed more stair runs with push ups, wall sits, jumping jacks, bear crawls, partner sit ups, planks and other exercises to complete an intense 60 minutes of drills. In all, every camper ran over 95 flights of stairs (just 7 shy of the Empire State Building).
