Regina Stair Climb Race Logistics Explained HERE!
So for all of our participants and athletes that are In Tier 2,3 and 4 I would like to quickly give you a visual description of how the race will be run and how you will enter and exit the stairwells.
I will be uploading a blueprint of the Delta Hotel's blueprint of the second floor and convention area so all of you have a clear idea of what to do on race day!
So the race will begin just beyond the elevators on the second floor. You will see the stairwell doors just beyond this point. All athletes will be lined up just outside the stairwell doors.
You willl see the chip timer station at the doorway and this is where your actual chip timer will go off, as you enter the stair well.
When you enter the stairwell, you will go down a short flight of stairs. (approx 6 steps)
Turn left and proceed up to the third floor, continue climbing until you get to the 25th floor!
When you get to the 25th floor, proceed through the door, your chip timer will automatically stop timing at this point, TURN LEFT!!! Turning right will automatically disqualify you from the race
You will pass pop machines on your left as well as the elevator, as you pass the elevator the stairwell entrance to go back down to the start is on your left.
Proceed through this door and go back down to the second floor. (This stairwell numbering is colored in YELLOW!
When you get to the second floor level, proceed straight and then you will climb a short set of stairs. (approx 6 steps) You will then see a door straight ahead of you! Proceed through this door and turn right!
The entrance to the RED stairwell is straight ahead of you!
Once you enter into the RED stairwell your chip timer will start up again!
Complete the designated number of rounds for your Tier!
Once you have finished your rounds and you make it back to the 25th floor for the last time, instead of turning left, turn RIGHT!!!
You will see the FINISH LINE right in front of you, proceed through the finsih line and your chip timer will stop and record your final time!
Just to let you know that I completed this twice. I did a dry-run to see how long it would take me. Here are my times:
Lap 1 - 2:36
Lap 2 - 2:22
Lap 3 - 2:31
Lap 4 - 2:57
Four rounds without lap times. Total time of 19 minutes and 11 seconds. Thats 4 times up and 4 times down.
Sign up for our March 13th 2011 event here!!!!!

Get Fit Fast With Our Fitness Tips of The Month
Tip of the Month for November 2010
Training
Training should be viewed not just about the physical workload placed on the body, but the mental limits set on the mind. Many people do not realize how much the mind plays into becoming fit and healthy. The mind plays an important role in the strength of your body. For best results add in visualization work at the end of each workout session. Lie with your feet up against a wall, close your eyes and imagine what your body is going to look like. Train your mind to believe you already have the body and health of your dreams. What the mind believes the body will achieve!
Nutrition
Nutrition is the critical component that links your work and the results you get. Really its the missing link behind the physical workouts. You can have all the amazing workouts in the world, but if your missing link is nutrition then you will not get the results you are after! Make sure to think of your body as a high performance car. You do not put in diesel fuel into a high performance car, nor would you put in processed sugary junk into your body. Make sure to eat clean burning carbohydrates, ample amounts of proteins and healthy polyunsaturated fats and drink plenty of water!
StairClimbing
Climbing multiple sets of stairs is a great activity that burns more calories then running, lifting weights or any other type of cardiovascular activity. WHY? Because you are moving your center of gravity vertically, creating great demands on the muscular system and cardiovascular package. No other type of sport (aside from running up mountains) creates the need for vasts amounts of oxygen and ample amounts of explosive activity from the lower body. For best results start slow and increase the amount of stairs climbed during each session!

Explosive Bounds with resistance tubing.
Check out this amazing exercise to help your explosiveness in stair climbing!!!!!
The Key to Top Fitness and Health Performance
What is the true definition of fitness?? Is it how much weight you can push, how flexible you are, or how long you can stay in the gym for??
Well no, the true definition of fitness is as follows:
Being able to do more work in less time!
Thats it! Really in a nut shell if I have person A training for an hour and Person B trains for an hour, but person A does 12 exercises and Person B does 5, then Person A is more fit then Person B!
Pretty simple isnt it?
But the fun really begins when you start increasing your own fitness levels to higher and higher levels, testing how much your body can really handle in a given amount of time.
What really is fascinating to me is how fast the body can adapt to this type of training.
Next time you want to see how fit you are see how many exercises you can do in an hour.
Try supersetting, tri-setting or even running through circuits. Any of these are acceptable forms of pushing the body to new heights.
You will be surprised from week to week how quickly your body will transform and get fitter. It doesnt take long especially if you are on top of your nutrition.
Goal for you: Increase your fitness level by adding two exercises every week, and next time you see that big burly bodybuilding pushing heavy weights, youll know that you will be more fit them he is!
Good luck and Have fun!
