When it comes to exercises that build muscles and maintain excellent cardiovascular health, stair running is one that's up there as a high-intensity and aerobic workout. Nippert Stadium is a great example of a local, outdoor space where you can get these steps in. The University of Cincinnati has a group called CHAARG that climbs stairs at this spot, all while motivating women to feel their best through exercise and friendly comradery. / Image: Abdullah Al-Bahrani // Published: 5.16.19

Stair Climbing Tip: Breathe and warm up for 10-15 minutes. If you are new to stairs, start off by walking before adding in a jog, followed by a running pace. Keep your body weight centered and core engaged. / Image: Abdullah Al-Bahrani // Published: 5.16.19

Stair Climbing Tip: Stay nimble and agile. It’s natural to want to look down, but it’s important to keep your head and eyes up, focusing on what’s ahead of you. Think about climbing each step and allowing the entire bottom of your foot to land on the step. But if you’re looking for a real calf-burner, try landing lightly on the ball of your foot in the climb. / Image: Abdullah Al-Bahrani // Published: 5.16.19

Stair Climbing Tip: Use the return to the bottom of the stairs as your “rest.” You’ll want to stay light on your feet as you descend the steps, as it puts more strain on your knees and ankles compared to ascending them. / Image: Abdullah Al-Bahrani // Published: 5.16.19

Stair Climbing Tip: Find your own rhythm and pace. When you find your groove, you can incorporate other exercises into the stair climbing. For example, when you reach the top or bottom of a climb, consider adding an extra challenge such as a set of 10 burpees, push-ups, squats, tricp dips, or sit-ups. / Image: Abdullah Al-Bahrani // Published: 5.16.19
