There's probably some benefit to walking (or running) up stairs. I'd guess you could accomplish a similar benefit by just doing jumping squats or something.
When I lived in San Francisco, I walked all over the place, including up and down hills. I also lived on the 8th floor and usually took the elevator up. I'd get pretty winded if I walked up the stairs. I imagine I would have had a much easier time walking up the stairs if I did it often.
- reilly3000 3y agoI also live on an 8th floor and taking the stairs on a regular basis has been really beneficial. At first I had to stop and catch my breath at the 5th floor, but now that I’m doing it 1-2 times a day it’s a lot easier. I’ve been largely sedentary so this plus some time at the building’s gym has helped with weight loss and endurance.
