Running stairs - good for losing weight?

Anytime you burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight.\n\nBut also remember it's not just about weight loss.  If you are exercising and burning calories, but not more than you consume, then you will turn your body fat into muscle.\n\nMuscle weighs more than fat, so it'll look like you've not lost any weight.  In fact you'll be losing inches (which is good too).\n\nThere is a great little way to figure that, I'll give you the link below in the sources.\n\nThe link below will let you know how many calories you burn by doing a certain activity for a given amount of time.  Not necesarily repetitions.\n\nUnfortunatly I am not sure how that'd translate into how much weight you'll loose.  But it's a start.

this is a one day weight loss exercise,\nfirst go to the bathroom, spit alot from morning to night, run alot that day. then before you go to bed ull be at least 5 pounds lighter. check before you eat dinner not after.\nIf you want a long time answer then spend an hour every 2 days at a local gym and do alot of cardio and stomach exercises.\nBy the way there is no problem with TV models at least they are not using overweight ppl to walk down the carpet... I dont see any problem with women looking good.

Running stairs is very hard on your knees, especially coming down.  Hard to keep your heart healthy when you're recovering from knee surgery.  I'd use a stepmaster machine if you're really into stairs.\n\nJumping rope and cross-country skiing are considered the best conditioning sports since they use the most muscles.  Jumping rope is also the #1 choice for boxers and they have to be in great shape.  If you like group classes, aerobics, kickboxing and tae bo are great conditioners.

You become very unhealthy and fat. If you do not use your muscles they turn into fat. Your heart will become more strained and have to pump faster, which will increase your risk of a heart attack. \n\nAlways exercise, even if it's just using the stairs instead of the lift, it will be so much better for you.

your weight is good, no need to lose ny of it. just do regular exercise to keep fit (not to lose weight). this may include 20-30 mins of walking/jogging a day.

I bought a treadmill that says how many pounds you've lost and it really encouraged me to keep going and lose weight.\nAnd I did! If you can't afford one try taking a daily run around your neighborhood or on a bikepath or just run! Running is the quickest way; I'm a believer!

I would have to ask myself what is my fitness goal. Any exercise will help you out depending on your fitness level. If you are into fitness big time and already tried a wide range of products at home or at the gym, you would be disapointed..., but if are looking for something to keep you in shape..., this would do the trick..., but also walking would help too..., running better...., actually not too many exercises can beat the calories burnt while running..., keep that in mind..., all you need is a pair of shoes and no hype..., just companies don't make money when you run...., only when they sell products like this...\n\n:-)

Running 1 mile burns about 100 calories, so in one month, if you ran everyday, that's about 3000 calories.  You need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.  So running one mile daily, while it is good exercise, is not really enough to lose weight.  It would be better to build up to 3 - 5 miles every other day.  Then you would lose weight.  It won't make your thighs or butt bigger.

restrict yourself to 1200 calories per day\nexercise for 30 mins each day\ndrink plenty of water\ni'm doing it right now,\nand i'm only a little bit lighter than you.\nnot by much.\nand i can do it -\nso, so can you. :)\n\nsend me an email\nmulldacity@yahoo.com\nmaybe we can encourage eachother on!\n\n♥\n\nPS:\n\nChromium is bollocks - it'll help a little, true, but I don't think that person understands what it means for the truly overweight. I've taken it before, and unless you eat healthy and exercise, it's not going to really give you any noticable difference.\n\nAnd yeah. Trainers? Pfft. Why? I play DDR for about 30 mins,  workout mode, heavy, then I do floor exercises until I'm tuckered out.

yuppp! I struggled with that little bit of "baby fat" about a month ago.  I hated it, I was tiny but I still had that little pooch and I wanted it GONE.  So what I did was the stairmaster at the gym..It rocks and really toned up my sides. Also I did pilates and I ate lots of fruits and veggies.  Also, my number one fat burner was jump roping!  It was fun and easy!! try it and I swear you WILL lose weight FAST!

Do some stairs climbing (real stairs, many, many levels)\n\nDo some squats, with weights if possible - a barbell on your shoulders or dumbbells on each sides of your body. 3 sets of 6 reps , 3 times with a good break in between (3 sets at the beginning of your Workout, 3 sets in the middle, 3 sets at the end)\n\nDo some leg-extensions (on the machine, at the Gym)\n\nAnd run, run, run. 50, 100, 200, 400 yards are good distances. (yes, one after the other, and the reverse too !) \n\nso : 50yds, break\n100yds, break\n200yds, break\n400yds, break\n200yds, break\n100yds, break\n50yds, break\n\nEnjoy !\n\nPS. Always start a workout with 10-15 minutes of cycling.\n\nNo Pain, No Gain !

Ideally a combination of healthy eating, weight lifting, and cardio activity will work the best to help you quickly and safely lose weight.  When it comes to cardio, the activity you enjoy will be the most effective in the long run.  However, you do have to be realistic about what each activity can do for you.  Unless you are a very strong swimmer, you aren't going to burn many calories swimming.  It is a good workout for your whole body, but it doesn't burn as many calories as some other activities.  Running burns a lot of calories, but can be tough on the knees.  I'm not a roller blader so I am unsure of the intensity of that workout.  Try some different things and see what you feel most comfortable with.  Running may burn the most calories, but if you hate it and neglect to run, it won't do you much good.  Try switching it up and do multiple activities to keep from getting bored.\n\nKeep in mind that just doing cardio won't help you in the long run.  You really need to eat healthily, and eat enough to sustain your activities.  Lifting weights will help you build muscle (and that doesn't mean become muscular and bulky) which will in turn burn more calories while you are performing all other activies.

Walking down stairs is definately easier than walking on level ground because gravity is sort of helping you move. Now, walking down stairs is better for your health than taking the lift because you are moving. This means that you are burning more calories than someone standing in the lift. Keep on walking and stay on the move. You will see the benefits of it.\n\nJ

Running in the park & treadmill work best for me, along with a sensible diet. More vegetables than meat, along with lots of salids. we need the protein also, but watch fatty cuts. Swimming is also good if you can do several laps. I like to work my legs good. can burn caloties & help with the running. Any good work out that brings on the sweat will burn calories and that is really the name of the game. For me, counting all calories has been the best weight loss diet of all. Got to see yourself thin. Diet or workouts by themselves alone never work. It takes both in equal effort.

If you walk on a treadmil with digital read outs you will notice that the faster you walk the more calories you burn. Walking is a very effective exercise, and if you want to use it to your best advantage you should walk as fast as you can just below your jogging speed, and do so for atleast 30 minutes per day. By raising your heart rate and burning the calories you will see pounds melt away. Make sure to drink plenty of water to flush out all the bad toxins. For every step I take is towards better health and fitness. Each person must set thier own tolerance , but walking as fast as you can for as long as you can works best, If walking has not been a habit , you will need to set realistic goals, lets say your first week you walk as fast as you can for 1/2 mile, next week try to add distance to it until you have worked up to a distance and pace that is right for you. Hope this helps you out, Happy Trails.
