Climbing stairs is a great exercise to raise the heart rate and sculpt a strong, lean lower body... if you're doing it right.

"I see many people placing close to half of their body weight leaning on the rails that they give you as just protection so you won't fall," Mark Hendricks, Group Fitness Manager at Greenwich Avenue Equinox says. "It's a safety issue not to place your hands on the handrail. That being said, there should never be pressing/pushing down on them."
