Which is better, climbing stairs or running

Nowadays, there are many different ways to exercise, and everyone does various exercises to maintain their figure and health. Some people stick to running every day, while others stick to the details of exercise. For example, many people insist on climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator when going to school or work, which also exercises themselves invisibly. So, which is better, climbing stairs or running?

1. Running can also help you lose weight, and it is a good way to lose weight. However, you have to jog slowly to have the effect of burning fat. If you run fast, your body will burn sugar but not fat. Let’s take a look at the differences between running and stair climbing.

2. Running. Running can exercise the muscle groups from the chest to the thighs, and puts less pressure on the knee joints, but the calories consumed are lower than climbing stairs. In addition, incorrect running posture can cause muscle damage.

3. Climb stairs. Climbing stairs will stimulate the front and back thigh muscles and buttocks muscles more, and put a lot of pressure on the knee joints, so it is easy to get injured if you are not careful, but it is better at burning calories than running.

In comparison, it seems that climbing stairs is more effective in losing weight than running, but everyone's physique is different, and diet will also affect the effect of weight loss. It is recommended that you choose to climb stairs every day and then run every 1-2 days. This combination of exercise will be more effective in losing weight.

Running is a whole-body aerobic exercise, which is not only ideal for weight loss, but also can shape local body.

I want to talk about body shape here. There is no scientific basis for local weight loss, and I hope you don’t believe it. But running also has disadvantages: incorrect running posture can easily cause muscle damage.

Therefore, when making a choice, you also need to make a decision based on your own physical condition.

The correct way to exercise:

Climbing stairs: It is recommended to control the time of stair climbing to 30-40 minutes, because your knees may not be able to withstand this intensity of exercise. It is recommended to use the elevator when going down the stairs. Keep the pace at 1-2 squares, not for speed, but for safety.

Running: Keep the speed at 6-8km/h. Don’t run too fast, otherwise it will be difficult to last for 40 minutes, which will affect your weight loss progress.
