Reasons Why You Should Run Stairs
The best HIIT workout for runners, no equipment needed.
Running is one of the most therapeutic and addicting exercises. It may take you some time to fall in love with it, but once it happens there is no going back.
Running up the stairs is a vertical movement that requires more energy as you defy gravity when you move up. It helps in the formation of muscles in the lower body. It helps you build stronger hamstrings, glutes, and Quads.
Running up the stairs quickens your breathing, it increases your oxygen intake and accelerates your heartbeat, which helps improve your VO2 max.
Running on stairs is one of the best, high-intensity aerobic exercises that can help you level up your running game. You don’t need a crazy amount of equipment to follow this routine — all you need is a flight of stairs.
There is a myth that stair workout only helps in toning the legs, but I believe you can also tone your abs by engaging your core. One exercise to build a strong core would be deep lunges on stairs. These lunges also help in toning glute muscles.
