Take the Stairs Program

Make the choice to take the stairs. Taking the stairs is a quick way for people to add physical activity to their day. Taking the stairs requires little additional time, no wardrobe change, minimal effort, no special skills, and will help to increase daily physical activity.

We have developed signs to be posted by the elevator at your work site to encourage individuals to take the stairs instead of the elevator.

The CDC has an excellent article, "Stair Well to Better Health: A Worksite Intervention" about how successful the program has been for other companies.

The Journal of Physical Activity and Health published an article "The Effects of Signage and the Physical Environment on Stair Usage," which evaluates our Take the Stairs program.
