      The stairs in my house twist to the right on the way up (common for a Japanese house). I’ve been going up and down these stairs so many times a day for 28 years. I’m wondering if these many years of repetitive twisting as I push upwards has affected my knees. If so, what can I do besides move?😅
      (The past month I’ve been marching up them military style-stopping twice on both feet on the way up to pivot 90 degrees before proceeding. (Tell my husband to stop laughing!)

    Love this - As my parents age, there is this ingrained attitude that stairs need to be removed from their environment once they get to a certain age. Time to change that narrative with more tips like this to help people keep moving for as long as possible!

    After nearly 20 years having problems getting up and down stairs, and my mother suggesting a stairlift which would have been the end of me. It took three years to get strong enough to climb all 13 steps. I started with 2 at a time for 3 months, and then went to 3 at a time etc. It was worth it. But never push yourself if you are as bad as I was. Slow and easy wins the race.

      On good days I can run up all 13, but I need to have my hand on the rail incase a knee goes.

    My high-rise is getting a new elevator car in September which means there will be one elevator available for 200+ residence, visitors & delivery people for a month. I've been practising walking up the stairwell to my place on the 15th floor for 4 months now. I found actual stair climbing painful for about the first 2 months! It is more intense than using a Stairmaster, Elliptical or treadmill on a 12% incline. Just take it slow & do single steps. Take a break between floors. Now my legs are more defined & my breathing less laboured. And I hate doing barbell squats! I'm 64 years-old. Excellent video!

Earlier I used to be running up and down like a horse and used to climb 2 steps together easily. I am going to try the exercise you showed and hope with all my heart to redevelop the strength. I was really worried about getting an x ray done or be told to avoid using the stairs since my bedroom is upstairs. Does Calcium deficiency have anything to do with sudden knee or hip pain like this? Thanks im advance.

    I have had 3 surgeries on my right knee for meniscal tears. After the third surgery things never seemed to heal correctly. I can't stand or sit for any amount of time and stairs...... well going up is beyond painful but going down...well let's just say it's one step at a time. I can not go downstairs like a normal person. I have to step down with my right leg (bad knee) and then go down on the same step with my left leg (good knee). I now have minimal balance. The more I try to exercise it the more my right knee swells up, even with minimal exercising. I'm at a loss as to what I can do to help correct this issue. The only thing I am sure of is that another surgery is NOT going to help. Does anyone else here have a similar issue? Any advice would be appreciated. TIA

    Can you do a video on balance?

    I cannot bend my left leg backward much, still can I walk the stairs in the way you showed? Please reply.
