Benefits of climbing stairs every day

In life, we often hear that climbing stairs can actually bring us many benefits. Generally speaking, the most talked about thing is that it can help us lose weight and exercise the leg muscles. But in fact, climbing stairs can bring you more unexpected health benefits. So let’s take a look at what unknown benefits climbing stairs every day can bring to your health.

In fact, stair climbers are also a way of exercise. We all know that people nowadays rarely do anything in life. No matter where they go, they use cars, so naturally they lack more exercise. So why not climb stairs every day? This is definitely the easiest way to exercise.

People who regularly climb stairs have 1/4 less heart disease incidence than those who take the elevator. Going up and down six floors 3-5 times a day has a 1/3 lower mortality rate than those who do not exercise. Some fitness experts even conclude that people who climb stairs can extend their life by one year for every 30 years. Therefore, climbing stairs is one of the better choices for maintaining health and longevity. Climbing stairs every day can not only enhance cardiopulmonary function, but also enhance muscle and joint strength, and improve the flexibility of the hip, knee and ankle joints. This is because climbing stairs strengthens the contraction of the myocardium, speeds up blood circulation, and promotes the body's metabolism. In addition, the accelerated venous blood return can effectively prevent myocardial fatigue and varicose veins. When climbing stairs, the waist, hips, and thighs use greater force, which speeds up the consumption of fat in these areas and helps lose weight.

Stair climbing exercises can be done by men, women, young or old, but you should choose a stair climbing exercise method that suits you based on your physical health and specific living conditions. For example, young people with good physique can climb the stairs quickly, taking two steps at a time, but the elderly should not climb fast and should climb slowly. Teenagers can jump and bounce, and the elderly should be calm and relaxed, and make sure that there are no adverse reactions to the body after exercise. You should also pay attention to the technique when climbing stairs. When going upstairs, lean your upper body slightly forward, bend your knees and lift your legs, and place the forefoot in the middle of the step. After landing firmly, stretch your supporting leg and step up; when going downstairs, lean your body slightly backward, relax your muscles, and place the forefoot alternately in the middle of the step.

The above is an introduction to the benefits of climbing stairs every day. I believe that everyone will be very surprised after reading the above introduction. It turns out that simple climbing stairs can bring so many health benefits. So when you are busy and have no time to go to the gym, just take the stairs when you get home from work.
