Nowadays, people's living conditions have improved. They often take cars when going out and use elevators when going up and down stairs. As a result, their daily physical activity is very limited. Therefore, they have to spend time on running to strengthen their exercise.
Actually, it is not necessary to set aside dedicated time for daily exercise. It would be a good choice to make use of climbing stairs, adapting to the circumstances. According to research by sports medicine experts, climbing stairs not only helps prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease but is also particularly beneficial for weight loss.
Firstly, when climbing stairs, the body naturally leans forward, and both the hands and feet make corresponding powerful movements. This is especially beneficial for the cardiovascular system as it can increase the blood flow in the coronary arteries, helping to prevent coronary heart disease.
Secondly, climbing stairs requires relatively more physical effort. According to experts' measurements, every 1 meter of climbing consumes the same amount of calories as walking 28 meters. It consumes 5 times the energy of walking, 1.8 times that of running, and 2 times that of swimming. For example, a woman weighing 40 kilograms, if she climbs stairs for 10 minutes, she will burn approximately 200 calories. Therefore, it is evident that if one insists on climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator every day, remarkable weight loss results can be achieved in just one year.
