Running Up Stairs
Nothing quite puts the hustle in a hard-earned workout quite like running up a set of stairs. Not only is it great for muscle-building and improving your cardiovascular fitness level, but it’s also a serious calorie-scorcher. Running stairs can burn upwards of 819 calories per hour for a 200-pound person.
‘Stair running essentially elevates the heart rate while the heart and lungs pump more blood and oxygen, resulting in a higher caloric burn than doing the same distance on flat ground,’ explains Ryan. Your speed, number of steps, and the height of the steps will all factor in to determine your overall calorie burn.
