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.

Now I'm working on getting down the stairs. On good days I can run up all 13, but I need to have my hand on the rail incase a knee goes.
Great workouts. I’m really benefitted. I’m 58 yrs old and I am glad you have these exercises for mobility. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you again for addressing yet another aspect of my challenges with such detailed clear instructions of what, why and how! Outstanding!

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!
Thank you sir...🙏🙏
Thanks mr.Matt.
Thank you 🙏 🇬🇧
Thank you 😊

Loved this video 📸 thank you I have really bad knees it's bone on bone I'm getting a knee replacement hopefully In 3 weeks Ive been really nervous though from Massachusetts
Very kind of you to share your precious knowledge and experience.Thank you so much. I would like to ask you if I can do these exercises although I have my miniscus removed and my knee has developed arthritis.I would appreciate it if you answered me.
I prayed for the Lord to send helpful videos to show how to heal my body, and you upload this shortly after. 🙏🏽 Thank you and God bless.
Thanks 🙏
I have stairs that are higher than normal about 12 high,. More difficult with my knee revision. more challenging. Thanks for the video.

Thanks a million for this super helpful video. I have severe pain in my knees all of a sudden and have actually been dragging myself up and down the house stairs daily. 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.

Your video i came across at a perfect time. Of recently i realised knee pain while climbing stairs n i think this is a simplest remedy .well explained.Thankyou so much . Sir, you are talking of your 20 n 30s but you look only 22 yrs old ...so any plans to make video on Age reversal. Waiting for it!
I seem to struggle with a really weak right side getting out of the chair and getting in and of cars and up and down from cleaning floors or weeding is difficult but it does seem to slowly be improving.
I've been struggling with the trucks at work lately because my knee has decided to be a jerk and do this pop and lock thing. I may have to try these exercises and see if they help. the Kalmar Ottawa's are such a weird step because they're so much higher and farther apart than house/building stairs.
I've started doing the knee exercises and I can't believe how much weaker my right leg is than the left and I think this is really going to help with the stairs. You have the best exercises that I can actually do! Thanks again.

I’m 63 have pain going up prob cuz of my little over weight. Have to try this to see if there’s hope. I definitely hold on to rail. I have to, to relieve some pain.
Any health tips for better health and LESS pain is just fine to accept!!
Nice post bro......
Matt, in the front split what can you do if you can not put your foot on a higher step for that stretch. Any recommendations? Thank you!
Sweet! Thanks! I’m still fairly young but have fibromyalgia and really weak knees. We don’t have stairs at home, but I’m going to try to at least work on my knees using other things. Stairs make me winded. I’m sure I can find other exercises to work on those upper leg muscles too. Thanks!
I had tibia surgery on my left leg 6 month back .I am not able to climb the stairs please share some exercise will the above-mentioned exercise will help.
Well I came into knee and hip pain from already being strong in glutes and quads due to gym work and also Ballet. So I'm still trying to work out what I did to cause the (ongoing) pain! Any ideas?
Merci!

Remember that ATROPHY ACHES. "tendonitis" is a mislabeling of weak, stiff, uncoordinated muscles for the majority of the population.
I have strong glutes, quads and calf muscles as l weight train but have pain behind my knee joint when climbing the stairs or when getting into my car, l have full movement of the knee and no pain, it’s only when l put pressure on the ball of the foot and bending my knee , thank you
Great
Also Pl tell how people with osteoarthritis can do this or are there some exercises which will be gentler on the joints

Hi. Thank you. I’ve had knee issues for a long time. My leg muscles are pretty strong, and my body is flexible due to my yoga practice, but regardless of my muscle strength and flexibility, my knees hurt when I climb the stairs.
Should I always keep my pelvis level? I notice that while running walking or on stairs it always tilts a lot.
What about if you do not have stairs, how do you practice these exercises? Thank you
I have difficulty in climbing n coming down after my total knee replacement operation. Can i do these exercise after the operation
Can you do these exercises when you have Osgood schlater ?
Can you do a video on balance?
Hai. Tqvm for this video. Very useful. Just wish the subtitle box doesn't obstruct your ...while you are demonstrating the respective parts. (Sorry for the comments).
I was just thinking exercising on the stairs because my apartment building will have 3-4 floors depending on which one we will get in a few months. It seems the lesson here is to take it slow controlled and eventually it would be a repeated muscle that itll be natural. What was it? RRP 😂 I need to revisit the knee strengthening muscle video too
I concur with this video based on my own experience. I have been working out consistently on legs for the last 2 months. Today while at the gym, I noticed while ascending the stairs without the handrail that I didn't have the pain I usually have.. I was excited lol. I have been strongly focusing on quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves. It works!
cool
Can u do a video on how to keep knee stable while going upstairs?
Does this exercise good for sciatica problems please?

So if I can go up on the heel but not on the ball of my foot, then what muscles are weakest. That way I know what to target.
