Why Climbing Stairs Is The Best Exercise!

climbing stairsYou can run a 5k but running up a flight of stairs tires you out? You can squat heavy and lunge with weights, yet walking up a couple of flights of steps makes it feel like a whole other workout? Here’s a workout that can actually challenge your body, endurance and actual strength and stamina. Climbing stairs is one of the best exercises when it comes to pure FAT BURN, strengthening the lower body, toning the butt, thighs, calves, losing inches from those love handles and belly as well as building great abs. Along with these benefits, it is the immense good it does for your lungs and Cardiovascular System.

Why Should You Choose Climbing Stairs?

  • It is totally free and just about all of us can get access to a set of stairs
  • It leverages gravity and the heavier we are, the harder we’re forced to work and the more calories we burn
  • It is a relatively intense exercise that quickly increases our heart rate and in doing so, can greatly improve our cardiovascular fitness
  • It helps strengthen and shape our most common problem areas like calves, thighs, buttocks and tummy
  • It is a very efficient way of burning maximum calories and is great for those of us with limited time to exercise
  • It can easily be mixed with other exercises like walking, skipping and weight training to maximize results. Stair climbing workouts are easy to build progression into
  • It can be done by almost anyone, regardless of fitness level
  • Because it is weight bearing, it helps build bone strength
  • It is low impact and safe for the knees, provided the correct technique is used and a pre-existing condition doesn’t exist

The way forward with exercise is quality over quantity. Too many people fix a ‘one hour’ workout in their mind and if they can’t find time for that ‘1 hour’, they just don’t do it. Aim for power workouts, 25-30 mins max, where you max out your reps, burn those muscles and really get your heart rate up. 35-40 minutes should include a great warm up and an extremely important cool down.

You can burn more calories walking/running up steps in 30 mins than a 1 hour run or walk, plus it challenges your body. Start off with a couple of flights, walk and run slowly. As you get better, run and then skip 2 steps at a time and run or walk.

In a nutshell, Walking: 

  • Burns More Calories: Stair climbing engages your body’s largest muscle groups to repeatedly lift your body weight up, step after step. Thus, using your muscles to carry your own weight is far higher to running when compared.
  • Maximizes Your Cardio Efforts: It also raises your heart rate immediately, thus, maximizing your cardio benefits
  • Increases Core Muscle Strength: Climbing stairs is a great way to amp your core muscle strength
  • Tones & Sculpts Your Body: It also engages every major muscle in your lower body — glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, abs and calves to exercise and thus tones your body better
  • Low Impact Workout: You don’t have to ideally sweat it out while climbing stairs. Just a few stairs every day will give you a good workout

Safety First: Never run down the stairs, be confident while running up and take a break when needed.

Start doing this regularly and soon, you will be running up flights of stairs, feeling fitter, younger, stronger and leaner!

    Thanks for all this valuable information. I have two question for you. Is walking stairs enough to get big legs? Can I continue working out my legs at the gym after stairs? I consider that no matter how big arms, back, biceps, etc you have you’d look funny if you dont have big legs and gluteus.

        I love the article thank you.

        I am overweight. My goal is to run. I can run now but obviously it is not fun. I asked a few runners for tips and I have gracefully received coaching from them. But I hesitated running. And then I had the Aha-moment: don’t run, do stairs instead. It’s like running in the sense that it involves lifting your entire body weight minus the jumping part. It was the jumping that was making me hesitant. I did not know what “climbing stairs” amounted to. Now, thanks to this article I know. ????

      Actually yes, what you can do is, skip every other step going up, as if you were doing lunges…I walk up and down 5 flights of stairs 2x a day, I do 4x in the Am and 4x before coming home. In the AM I do my every other step as if they were lunges, in the afternoon I do them on my toes to work my calves…and I can tell you my wife loves my lower half, I get plenty of eye looks wearing shorts and within 5 months you will notice a change not only in your cardio but your definition, and muscle mass. it wont increase drastically but you will be well defined with a nice pair of sexy legs :).

    My legs are my problem area and always have been my entire life. My legs always look out of shape and flabby even though I can bike ride and walk for miles. Any excess weight I carry, ends up on my legs so I have muscle but too much fat on my legs also. How many flights of stairs should I be climbing per day to sculpt my legs hips and butt? I live in an apartment building with stairs so this is something I can do every day but I need to know how much I need to do to see the appearance of my legs improve a lot.

    I started climbing the stairs 30 days back. at day 1 to 7th day I did 9 floors in the morning and 9 Floors in the evening then and from 7th day I increased to 12 floors like that this is the 30th day now my total count per day is 18 floors in the morning and 18 floors in the evening and in the intervals of every 3 floors I am doing some push ups. My doubt is am I correct and am I correct if i am thing to increase more floors which could lead to total of 60 floors per day. Anyhow I have taken 1 day gap when I felt little pain. If you can clear my doubt I will be thankful to you…

        I did that for 3 months. With a healthy diet at a caloric deficit, you lose fat all around and your entire lower body gets a natural toned look. I expect better results as I’m starting to implement stair lunging. After mastering that, I will get a weighted vest and I’m guessing the added weight will bring some bulk to my legs.

    I started stair climbing about 3 years ago to maintain fitness for canyoning and hiking. The workout ive fallen into takes 30mins and consists of 60-65 flights of stairs up and down (a flight being 30 steps). I do these 3 or 4 times a week. The sets i do are:

    5x flights walk every step
    5x flights walk but skip every other step
    15 sec drink break
    Repeat

    Tips:
    Don’t rush or jump down stairs.
    Always step up with your heel on the ground (i seemed to strain my knee a lot more often when i used to step up on the ball of my foot)
    Practice regularly will make it easier. If you do it only once a week each session will remain as difficult as the first.
    Set a pace and try to maintain it. It get easier over time.
    Warm up and down with leg stretches.
    Drink plenty of water.
    You heat up fairly quickly so do what you need to to remain cool. (Fan, wet cloth etc.)

Been doing this for 6 months and it changed my life, I feel much more healthy and stronger. Associated with a solid weight lifting program on the other days and it’s easily the best training I’ve experienced in the last 15 years! Keep up the good work!

      Hi! Keep going on the stairs 5 days a week. Take the weekend off. Add a floor once a week, keep track of how many floors you do every day, and every four weeks take a half week or 5 days off to rest. Then start again at your previous number of stairs, and add more floors as you can. Eat a high protein high vegetable diet. In fact, if all you eat are vegetables, meat, eggs, nuts and fruit and drink only water (NO sugar, no processed carbs or fast food, not junk food, no desserts), you’ll lose those 20 lbs easily. Good luck.

    I do a 20 minute brisk walk outside and then come home and go up and down my stairs at least 20 times. It has helped to make my body leaner through my waste, belly and hips. Not to mention my calves are as hard as a rock. Consistency is key….4-5 times a week. The whole work out only takes me about 35 minutes per work out. Soon, I am going to add small 5-lb hand weights to tone my arms at the same time. The beauty of this, it will not add any time to the 35 min. Good Luck all.

I prefer not to climb down as one tends to jerk while doing so. I find climbing better than running as it is low impact ..just remember to maintain correct posture n footing .. Aim high, reach far ,go climb !!!

    We lived (hubby is 74, a bit portly, and diabetic; I am slightly chubby tho’ normal blood sugar etc)…in a NY apt that was a converted brownstone. (Translation: no elevator.) a three flight walk up. I did it for over 40 years, never gave it a thought. When Ric and I married and he moved in with me in 2008 – he started stair climbing as well. Eleven years into the marriage (AND the stair climbing – LOL!!) Another great benefit – if you happen to be diabetic, this activity helps kick your metabolic, sugar digestion system in healthy gear. Along with diet changes and the proper meds, you will find that keeping your blood sugar # and A1C’s a much easier task. Just that overall physical activity really makes a difference. Now, we are lkving in New Orleans and our new place is THREE AND A HALF FLIGHTS UP. But, since we are so used to stair climbing, it’s no big deal. Now, the first week it was a bit of a chore. But as we pace ourselves and, have settled into the routine? It’s great!!
    I urge anyone who is thinking of stair climbing as part of a fitness regime – check with your Doc, and then go for it!!

    My friend lives on the 8th floor of a condo where I recently vacationed at. Every day for 2 weeks I climbed 8 flights of stairs, two steps at a time, 2-4 times a day depending on how often we went out. What a rush!
    I attribute this feat to working out on an indoor rower for 8 months prior and this insanity to being a regular gym rat.
    I just turned 60 and I feel remarkably light and energetic.

    I love stair climbing! I live in Toronto, ON, and one day I will do the CN Tower stair climb 🙂
    I have a question: I sometimes stair climb for an hour and a half, is that bad?

    Hey, I recently started doing this 12k walk along the cost where I live it includes possibly 3 sets of stairs , maybe about 80 stairs total, I don’t necessarily want my legs to get bigger in size at all maybe just slimmer toned.. do I need to be concerned here or no ?

    I am 65 years old and I climb stairs (9 inch steps) twice a day for 15 mins each time, once before lunch and once before dinner. I have been doing this for a year. Before I started, my blood pressure was mildly high (130/90). Now my BP before bedtime is 100/70. My weight at 5ft 8in tall is 165lbs. As long as your legs (and knees) can take it, it is a great exercise for the elderly, as well as everyone else. It definitely gets this old heart pumping and my legs, behind, abs, and stomach are in great shape.

    Thank you sir for useful tips. Some doubts in mind. I am climbing stairs 60 up and 60 down in my society. Which is 4 floor society. I do it for 30 times in the morning. My age is 47 I don’t have any Medical problem. Only back pain when woke up in the morning.
    Some advices not to do it it will give you knee problem or lungs problem. Please let me know what I am doing is right or wrong. I have little fat on stomach.
    My height 5.4 inch weight was 67 kgs before lockdown now it is 62kgs. Waist 34 now it is 32.
    I feel good. But will it creates issues in older age.

    💯 % agree with Luke, climbing stairs is the best exercise. I climbed 175 floors last Tuesday, it was almost feel like running one full marathon in little more than one hour.
