    The Lyon Street Steps measures 332 “steps to heaven" This lengthy ascent features a “Heart of San Francisco” and gorgeous views of the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco Bay and Marin Headlands.

    San Francisco is built on hills, and some of the city’s steps offer great views and scenery. The Lyon Street Steps offer views of the bay and the Marina district, including the Palace of Fine Arts. Read more

    Beautiful Presidio views in the afternoon (but if you want to see the Golden Gate, you'll need to make friends with a local billionaire).

    Great workout spot! And very scenic for photos, as well as the nice houses around!

    From the Presidio, find the bottom of the Lyon Steps at Lyon and Green Streets. Take the steps up to Broadway for amazing views of North Bay.

    Suck it up and race to the top. The view from on high is spectacular! Worth every gasping breath.

    Do this with your dog.. easy on all 6 set of joints. For max output, stretch after every other round and move fast and light on your feet. You should be able to do 10 in 60min eventually.

    Every repeat up you want to make it your last one and/or know you don't have another in you. Then about halfway back down you figure you can do one more...

    Start at the bottom (wearing comfortable shoes) and make yourself up to the top, with camera ready to shoot pictures!

    Need to keep #thesweatlife going? For pilates, barre, boot camp or TRX, head to Pilates Pro Works.

    When descending, don't hold back. Faster means less strain on the knees. Try to stumble down each step. This is much easier on the joints than running.
