Workout Questions - Running Stairs For Weight
Loss
Workout Question:
Is running stairs a good form of exercise to lose weight
and tone up my legs?
Workout Answer:
Stair workouts are great for burning calories and toning
up your legs. In terms of losing weight with this training, it all depends on
how many calories you're consuming. Remember, its really simple math when it comes
down to losing the weight. Calories in vs. calories out. Make sure to keep your
diet filled with nutrient dense foods and try to eat several small and nutritious
meals throughout the day. You will gain several benefits from eating several small
meals throughout the day and your body's metabolism will be revved up throughout
the day. I would recommend to focus on lean protein sources (chicken breast, turkey
breast, egg whites), lean fibrous carbs (broccoli, mushrooms, squash, zucchini)
and whole wheat starchy carbs (whole wheat bread, brown rice, etc.). Try to eat
every 3 hours and make sure to include a lean protein source in each meal. Its
also extremely important to keep a diet journal of your nutritional intake. This
way you will be able to track where all your calories are coming from and really
monitor your intake. You can download our free diet journals here:
