Once your body is accustomed to a particular workout, you become "too efficient." Trying a new exercise or joining a new class at the gym could be just what your body needs to break the plateau. And you could meet new friends or find a new passion at the same time :-)

Do a whole body mini workout on the stairs. Do one set (15-20 reps) of:
-Stair-push ups (like wall push-ups, but uses more of your body weight) -Step-ups (take two stairs if you can) -Single-leg calf raises -Then sprint one flight up and back down.
Repeat as many times as you can in 10 minutes .
I have stairs at home, and can manage to fit in this mini work out three times a day.
