Like other aerobic exercises, stair climbing generates body heat, enhances metabolism, and consumes ATP used for food conversion in the body. Whole-body aerobic exercise speeds up blood circulation throughout the body and helps metabolize fat in the thigh area. Climbing stairs to lose weight mainly consumes lower body fat We know that fat mainly accumulates in the face, neck, abdomen, side waist, buttocks, thighs, calves and other parts of the body. In the Oriental physique, fat is mostly concentrated in the lower body, which is where fat accumulates in large quantities.
