Choosing to take the stairs instead of the elevator is an easy way to add more physical activity to your daily routine. For those who regularly climb stairs, a common inquiry arises: is it better to go up one step at a time or two steps at a time? To explore this, researchers conducted a study where participants climbed stairs with a total elevation of 46 feet. They measured the calories burned during the activity using heart rate assessments. The study found that people who took two steps at a time displayed a higher rate of energy burn over the 86 steps climbed. However, those who climbed one step at a time burned more energy overall for the entire staircase.
