First, let's define aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise-or aerobic exercise-is any exercise that uses oxygen as the main energy source to make your heart rate beat at a certain level. The heart will affect your heart and lungs, your heart and lung system. It can also regulate and strengthen your abdominal muscles, legs and gluteus maximus (but you need some weight training to really build new muscles). Other effective aerobic exercises include brisk walking, swimming, dancing and even bicycle training. Any exercise that can make your heart beat for 20 to 60 minutes is aerobic exercise.
On the other hand, anaerobic exercise, such as sprint, is a short-term high-intensity exercise, which will greatly increase your heart rate and make you gasp. Anaerobic exercise can only last for a few minutes at most.
Climbing stairs can be aerobic or anaerobic, which depends on two factors: your health level and the speed at which you climb stairs. If you run on the stairs for two minutes and you are panting, this is anaerobic exercise and can't replace long-distance jogging.
If you are healthy and can climb the mountain for more than 20 minutes while chatting (you may be a little breathless, but you can basically talk), then doing aerobic exercise can replace jogging.
Climbing stairs is actually good exercise. Even anaerobic exercise can strengthen your heart muscle and exercise gluteus maximus, quadriceps femoris and calf muscles. Of course, you can also climb stairs as part of HIIT training. This is faster than a 45-minute jog and is an effective exercise method. Some health experts believe that its effect is equivalent to or even better than stable aerobic exercise (exercise at a stable and less intense speed for a longer time).
Steady state and high-intensity exercise have a place in a comprehensive fitness plan. But before doing any kind of high-intensity exercise, be sure to check with your doctor, especially if you are in poor health or have heart or joint problems.
In a word, climbing stairs can be aerobic exercise. If it is moderate intensity exercise, it can last for 20 to 45 minutes (or longer). If you do a quick burst for a minute or two, it is anaerobic. If you combine 1 minute (or 30 seconds) high-intensity exercise with a few minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, alternating 15 to 20 minutes, you can have an effective HIIT exercise plan. This is not aerobic exercise, but anaerobic exercise, which is time-saving exercise. The choice is entirely up to you.
