I couldn’t leave my building today so I resorted to stair climbing (I live on the 10th floor).

FWIW I still prefer running outdoors (wind, fresh air, birds, other runners and yogis…), but apparently stair climbing is more effective to burn calories, even more if you take 2 steps at a time.

If you do both, is there any proportion that works best for you? like 2 days running and one day stair climbing? alternating days?

Any drawback doing too much stair climbing?

    If you can’t go anywhere, another option is jumping rope. 10 minutes of jumping rope is about equivalent to jogging for 30 min.

    I personally prefer a slightly weighted (.8lb) rope with the mass concentrated in the rope portion rather than the handles.
