Our stair challenge has concluded, and we’d love to hear your results! Did you engage in a lower-body routine focused on lunges? Or perhaps attempt our escalating series of push-up variations?
As highlighted by reader hellhog, each stage of stair push-ups targets distinct muscle groups. Flat push-ups primarily engage the chest, while decline push-ups (with hands positioned lower than the feet) shift the focus to the shoulders. This mirrors the contrast between a bench press, incline bench, and overhead press in gym terminology. Essentially, it’s the distinction between vertical and horizontal pressing movements. Whether this is advantageous depends on your fitness goals. For those seeking variety, the stair progression offers an excellent way to diversify your workout.
To continue with similar exercises, consider incorporating tricep dips on various stair levels or experimenting with planks and side planks. We’ve only begun exploring the potential of stair-based upper and lower body workouts, so share your favorite routines in the comments!
