What are the benefits of climbing stairs for the body? 0 9

It is important to follow proper walking technique, notes fitness trainer Svetlana BUTOVA.

You should step onto the stair with your entire foot. This will help avoid potential injuries and strains. A stable foot position will help evenly distribute the load when transferring body weight from one leg to the other. You should move in comfortable shoes – definitely avoid high heels or platforms. There is no need to run up the stairs; move at a comfortable pace.

Pay attention to your breathing – do not hold it, breathe through your nose; proper breathing will help avoid shortness of breath and discomfort. Regularly climbing stairs will help strengthen leg muscles and improve joint mobility.
