Feeling like you could use a boost in your cardio routine? Try this easy stair workout that only takes 20 minutes and start seeing the changes in your shape in no time.
The only thing you need is access to stairs and some will power. If you live in a building with a lot of stairs, you can safely do the workout even during this pandemic.
You already know that even a single flight of stairs can get your heart rate up. Walking up the stairs is so difficult because you’re fighting gravity. You’re using your body to move up, which goes against the laws of gravitation. Going up the stairs is more difficult than walking or running on a straight road.
So why make the extra effort? Because walking up the stairs gives you a more intense workout that will bring you results faster! Whenever you don’t have time for your regular cardio workout, walking or running up and down the stars for up to 20 minutes is a great replacement.
Once you get bored, you can add squat jumps or climb sideways for an extra challenge. Don’t overthink the number of steps you have available and use what you have. At least you’ll always be close to home when you finish!
