Lots of physical activities can be done in order to improve aerobic fitness and if you are looking for something which is the cheapest then you can use the stairs to get your goal. If you have access to 20 flights of stairs, consider yourself lucky although some people would wish that they have more. To perform the exercise, you may want to walk up slowly while taking all your time. Don’t rush yourself or you’ll end up tumbling down in shame. For a 2 flight stairs, you will consume about 4 to 5 minutes. Once you go up, try to do a little stretch. You can start by doing lower body stretches and you can just include upper body stretches when you see yourself ready enough. To be more effective, try to hold each stretch for about 10 to 30 seconds.
 
During the second round, you can perk up your pace a little. One thing that you will realize in this activity is that you don’t end much for you to be able to increase the intensity of climbing up the stairs.
 
There are different methods that you can do if you wish to climb up the stairs. Don’t forget to add some variations so you won’t bore yourself. You can create various ideas as well. Just keep in mind that there is a need for you to put safety on topmost considerations.
 
One of those that you can do in the stairs is the regular walking. In this, all you have to do is to move up and down the stairs like the way that you normally do. For you to be able to adjust the intensity, you can walk faster or slower depending upon your preference.
 
Another option that you have is to put your hands behind your head while climbing. By doing this, you can somehow augment the difficulty hence challenging your balance and augmenting the demand to work on your legs.
 
If you wish to carry props with you, try to make use of dumbbells. This will give you the same effect like walking into the stairs with grocery bags in your hand. Just ensure that the weight is light enough for you to competently complete the climb. Having too heavy dumbbells will only make the training to be like strength climbing rather than aerobic climbs. Also, bringing lots of weight can put you in a greater risk for accidents.
