    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!)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Hello. I am from the Philippines. May I ask what if in climbing the stairs my knee produced a sound? Is it good or bad? Thank you doctor.

    I have an issue with stairs because of the weight I have gained on my knees. I have a treadmill which goes to 12 incline. Could this help?
