Stair Running

How to do it

Step onto the stair climber machine and set it to a moderate stepping pace before beginning.
Stand tall with a light grip on the side rails, keeping the torso upright rather than leaning on the handles.
Drive through each step by extending the hip and knee, working the quadriceps, biceps femoris, and gluteus maximus on every push.
Land each foot fully on the step surface and push off through the calves rather than just the toes.
Breathe steadily in and out through an extended climbing interval, matching breath rate to stepping cadence.
Keep the stepping rhythm even rather than gripping the rails for support, a common fault that reduces the working effort.

QuadricepsMuscles located at the front of the thigh, responsible for extending the knee. All Quadriceps exercises

Biceps FemorisTwo-headed hamstring muscle responsible for knee flexion and hip extension. All Biceps Femoris exercises

CalvesMuscles located at the back of the lower leg, responsible for plantar flexion of the foot. All Calves exercises

Gluteus MaximusLargest gluteal muscle responsible for hip extension and external rotation. All Gluteus Maximus exercises
