Slim down while adding precious minutes to your day
Stairs or elevator? To save time and boost fitness, climb rather than ride--it shaves off 20 seconds per flight, report University of South Carolina at Aiken researchers who clocked office workers traveling from floor to floor.

Not bad for a workday workout.
