Stair exercises are one of the best exercises that can get you fit very quickly. If you do not have access to a gym, you can use your own body weight and do stair exercises.

Being a personal trainer, I always hear that I can not work out because I do not have access to a gym when I go on a business trip. That is totally nonsense. I always recommend bring a pair of your sneakers and your work out clothing.

Sometimes your hotel might have a gym, or maybe they might not have a gym for their customers to use. However, I do know that pretty much any building that has more than one floor has a flight of stairs.

Below are some of the benefits of stair exercises:

Improve your strength

Improve your power output

Improve your flexibility

Improve your balance

Improve your coordination

Reduce your body fat levels

Your exercise workouts can be finished in as little as in fifteen minutes

No equipment is required only your body weight and a flight of stairs

Improve in your anaerobic conditioning

Have more a ton more endurance in your legs

Improve in your aerobic conditioning

Build buns of steel.

Here are two types of work outs that you can do to get fit.

Aerobic work outsthis is very simple! Just walk up a flight of stairs without holding on the handle. Walk in a comfortable pace while getting your heart rate up. If you feel that it is too easy, you can simply walk faster.

Leg strength and muscle build work outsthis is a variation of the first work out. You can simply walk 2 steps at a time. After a flight or two, you should feel that your quads and your butt burn! If this gets too easy, you can add some external weight such as a pair of dumb bells or a weight vest to increase intensity.
