How about climbing stairs to keep fit? There are some research data about the fitness effect of climbing stairs: climbing five flights of stairs every day can reduce the incidence of heart disease by 25% compared with people who take elevators. Climbing 5,000 stairs a week (that is, climbing 7 14 stairs every day, which is equivalent to going up and down six floors three times) consumes about 2,000 calories, and the death rate of people who insist on such activities is lower than that of people who don't exercise 1/3 ~ 1/4. The energy consumption of climbing stairs is 10 times higher than that of sitting still, 3 times higher than that of walking, and 3 times higher than that of playing table tennis. Climbing the 6th floor 2~3 times is equivalent to jogging 800 ~ 1500m.

Climb the stairs slowly. Step by step, the speed should be even, and the pace should be calm and rhythmic, which can enhance the strength of back muscles and the activities of lower limb muscles and ligaments. Because climbing stairs has a great influence on the knees, the exercise time of climbing stairs should not be too long, and 10~20 minutes is appropriate. Keep the speed and intensity of climbing stairs moderate, and don't feel obvious difficulties.

Pay attention to knee protection.

When climbing stairs, you should choose light running shoes. After exercise, you can relieve your knee injury by massage. ? For obese people, climbing stairs has high requirements for their knee joints. It is mainly to do enough warm-up activities before exercise to avoid the phenomenon of uncoordinated joint activities and prevent physical injury. ?

Professor Huang also introduced that when climbing stairs upwards, attention should be paid to the coordination of the upper leg and the lower leg. When going down stairs, the knee joint and ankle joint should bear the weight of the whole body, and the mobility and compressive strength of these joints will increase sharply. Therefore, it is necessary to land with the forefoot first, and then slowly transition to the whole sole, which can play a certain buffering role and reduce the damage to the knee joint.

Fitness benefits of climbing stairs

2, according to the height of the steps to control the height of the leg lift, foot lift should be neat, in place, stable, accurate and slow; When kicking off the ground, the toes should be forced, which is of great significance to exercise the strength and support of the soles of the feet and ankles.

3. Don't wear high heels when exercising, so as not to fall to the ground unsteadily and get injured.
