Stairway to better health..

Did you know that by climbing stairs you can....

1. Reduce body fat and calories
2. Stair climbing programs can improve the amount of 'good cholesterol' in the blood - HDL concentrations (Wallace and Neill, 2000).
3. Effective to increase blood circulation and improves lung and heart function.
4. Climbing two steps at a time is good for building the quadriceps and the gluteus.
5.Going down steps builds strength in the quadriceps and to a lesser extent, the hamstrings.
