About Stair Climbing
Stair climbing, whether on an actual staircase or a stair-climbing machine, is a high-intensity cardiovascular exercise that builds powerful legs and glutes. Climbing stairs burns far more calories than walking on flat ground because every step lifts body weight vertically. The true calorie burn depends on direction, pace, step height, whether you hold the handrails, and whether you are using real stairs or a StairMaster-style machine.
