Do you want to get into shape but don't think that you can do it because you're overweight, suffer from injury or have joint pain? Well, I've got good news! Stair climbing could be the exercise that you've been looking for. Just keep reading this article because I'm going to list some of the amazing benefits of stair climbing exercise.

 

What's So Good About Stair Climbing?

Stair climbing is a low cost and exciting cardiovascular activity. Stair climbing is often a safer form of exercise than running or jogging for people whom are overweight, have arthritis or weak bones because it doesn't place as much stress on the joints as those high impact aerobic exercises do.

 

Stair Climbing Increases Cardiovascular Endurance

Stair climbing is similar to uphill climbing thus making it a much better exercise than walking on a horizontal plane. You can start with a small flight of stairs. Simply climb to the top of the staircase, turn around then descend to the bottom floor. Repeat this action several times then take a brief rest before resuming the exercise. As your cardiovascular endurance improves you can climb taller staircases or shorten the duration of rest periods.

 

Stair Climbing Burns Calories

Stair climbing aerobics helps your body burn fat. When you participate in any aerobic activity, your heart rate and respiration increase, transporting oxygen to your muscles. This activity results in caloric expenditure, thus if you add stair climbing to your fitness routine it may accelerate your fat loss.

 

Stair Climbing Can Reduce Diabetes Risk

Adult onset diabetes is linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Stair climbing, like other aerobic exercises, helps your body to burn up excess calories causing you to lose fat weight. This in turn can lower your chances of developing metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes.

 

Stair Climbing Can Be An Effective Means of Protection Against Cancer

Numerous studies point to the advantages that regular physical activity has for cancer prevention. Physical exercise, which includes stair climbing, significantly lowers risk for development of colon, breast,endometrial and lung cancer. Setting aside one hundred fifty minutes each week for stair climbing may greatly lower your cancer risk.

 

Stair Climbing Is Good For The Brain

Exercise supplies oxygen to the brain and stimulates release of neurochemicals that improve mood and mental acuity. Stair climbing for just a few minutes each day will relieve boredom and have a positive effect on your sense of well-being.

 

Get Out There And Do It!

Stair climbing is a low impact aerobic exercise that is good for people of all ages. Talk to your doctor about starting a healthy living program that includes stair climbing. It's such a fantastic way to workout that you'll be glad that you did.

In all things give glory to the Lord Jesus Christ who died for our sins then rose again on the third day triumphant over death and all evil. Have fun and be safe.
