Stair Climbing

Faster Benefits
When you stair climb, you burn twice the fat in half the time than if you run and three times more than walking.

An intense stair-climbing exercise session will produce more aerobic benefits in a shorter amount of time than running or walking. One hour of stair climbing will burn approximately 1,000 calories.

You burn about 0.17 calories for every step you climb and every stair descended burns about 0.05 calories on average. If you are heavier, the more calories you'll burn and walking up stairs in high heels is a better calorie burner, but it's not recommended for your posture and wellbeing overall.

jumping jacks benefits

It balances out your heart rate, increases blood circulation all over the body, controls and maintains blood pressure, helps in doing away with bad cholesterol levels in the body, prevents the onset of stroke or heart attacks.

Rowing Benefits for Runners

Power: Just as rowing helps activate certain muscles and gives them more flexibility to improve your run, rowing also adds power to those same muscles. You may even find that rowing is providing power to muscles that you've never used before, increasing your overall upper body strength.
