There are many exercises you can do once you have finished your warmup. Speed walking or jogging up and down stairs are common exercises to try when you start your routine. You can also do lunges, in which you take more than one stair per step, but go slowly until you master the exercise. Walking up the stairs sideways will work slightly different muscles than when you face forward and go up the stairs. Experiment and find a routine you are comfortable with. Whichever you choose, keep your feet firmly planted on the stairs at all times to avoid injury.

Workouts for Women with Flabby Thighs
Hormones cause women to gain fat on the thighs, according to Patrick J. Bird, dean of the College of Health and Human Performance at the University of Florida, writing for “Scientific American.” Combined with poorly toned muscles, this results in flabby thighs. A workout routine of cardiovascular exercise to burn fat and strength-training exercises using your body weight, free weights and resistance equipment will help you get sleek, toned thighs. Do this workout a minimum of three times a week.
