The correct way to climb stairs to lose weight

 　　How many calories can you burn by climbing stairs?

　　We are usually busy with work and live a fast-paced life, but why are we wasting so many opportunities to lose weight just for the sake of convenience?

　　Come, let’s analyze the calories burned by climbing stairs!

　　Going up the stairs at a normal speed, the energy metabolic equivalent is 8.0 METs. Taking a person weighing 50 kg as an example, he can consume 7 calories per minute. The heavier the weight, the more calories consumed. If you run and climb stairs, the energy metabolic equivalent can be doubled to 15.0 METs, consuming 13.12 calories.

　　What about going down the stairs? Going down the stairs at a normal speed, the energy metabolic equivalent is 3.0 METs, and only consumes 2.62 calories per minute. If you go down the stairs with something of 10-20kg, the energy metabolic equivalent can increase to 5.0 METs, consuming 4.37 calories.

　　Warm reminder: MET refers to energy metabolism equivalent, transliterated as met, which is a common indicator that expresses the relative energy metabolism level during various activities based on energy consumption at rest and sitting. Each kilogram of body weight engaged in 1 minute of activity consumes 3.5 ml of oxygen. This exercise intensity is 1 MET.

　　Going up and down can also increase metabolism

　　Compared with walking to lose weight, those who climb up and down the stairs need to activate the muscles on the front of the thigh, namely the quadriceps, because of the step difference between the stairs. When this huge muscle is stimulated, the metabolism in the body will accelerate.

　　The quadriceps of the thigh is composed of four muscles, but the medial broad muscle located on the inside is rarely used in daily life, so the muscle mass can easily be reduced unknowingly, allowing fat to take advantage of it and accumulate thickly in it. This is also one of the reasons for low metabolism.

　　Although some muscles cannot be exercised at ordinary times, the height difference between the steps can unexpectedly stimulate these muscles with lower strength. The muscle strength of the quadriceps of the thigh is easy to decrease, but as long as you exercise a little exercise , its metabolic rate is also quite effective, and it is one of the easiest muscles to exercise!

　　Pay attention to your posture for better results

　　When we usually climb stairs, our posture is very incorrect. In order to confirm whether our feet are stable, we will look at the stairs, causing our back to arch unconsciously. In fact, it is most correct to climb stairs with your back straight and your abdominal muscles tightened.

　　If you want to lose weight by climbing stairs on a daily basis, be sure to correct your posture. Do not follow the casual posture you usually walk on the road. You must pay attention to your posture, so that you can exercise your muscles, distribute them evenly, and support your trunk.

　　Climb stairs every day to lose weight

　　In fact, you don’t have to find time to do weight loss exercises. You can just use your daily life and make use of the surrounding facilities to lose weight. The so-called exercise to lose weight depends on whether you can integrate it into your life, so that you can persevere and treat weight loss as a lifestyle habit!

　　Although stair climbing is not very intensive for weight loss, and its weight loss effects will take some time to show, it is indeed a good way to lose weight for those of you who don’t have time to do exercise on weekdays, or lack exercise and don’t like to exercise. It can also make your body healthier. healthy oh!
