Find a tall building, parking garage, or stadium and climb 10 flights without using the elevator. Take breaks if needed but try to maintain a steady pace. It's a quick cardio boost that you can do almost anywhere, and climbing stairs burns more calories per minute than jogging.

“Today our trainer made us climb stairs. By the end of 10 flights I was a sweaty, wheezing mess. But I pushed myself and did it. I climbed 30 flights of stairs. My legs are shaking as I type this. I know it will get easier the more I do it. But I’m so proud of myself and the fact that I’m even able to complete the climb.”
“I haven’t exercised for a year. Just been a sloth. I have been quite down and full of anxiety for a while now. Recently I just had enough. Decided if I hate going to the gym I should start something. So I started taking the stairs at work. 10 flights of stairs - 2x a day. It sure gets me winded. [...] I can feel the burn in my legs and butt and that counts for something.”
“My proudest moment however was when I noticed I no longer get chest pains when climbing up the stairs. If I can, I avoid using lifts and elevators and just walk. Over the weekend I climbed over 10 flights of stairs and was so happy.”
