New Delhi, Jan. 13 -- You do not always need a gym membership, fancy machines, or long workout hours to stay fit and lose weight. Sometimes, the most effective fitness tools are already part of your daily routine. Walking, for instance, is one of the easiest and most recommended habits for overall health and longevity. But if weight loss or fat burning is your goal, a small tweak in how you move can make a big difference.

According to fitness coach Dr Mickey Mehta, choosing stairs over flat walking can dramatically increase calorie burn in less time. This simple shift toward vertical movement challenges your body in a new way, helping you break through weight loss plateaus while also improving strength and heart health.
