We're nearing the halfway mark in our Stair Challenge, and the daily climbs are getting more demanding. As seasoned fitness enthusiasts, we stay motivated by focusing on these three proven benefits of taking the stairs regularly.
1. It's a Legitimate Workout
Stair climbers are gym staples for building cardio and leg strength. Swap in real stairs daily, and you'll get the same benefits without the equipment.
2. Often Faster Than the Elevator
You could reach your floor before the elevator even arrives, especially during peak hours.
3. Every Step Adds Up
One minute of stair climbing burns about 8 calories (for a 65kg person). It may not sound like much, but consistency turns it into real results.
