I walk up all the way to the top of my 24 floor dorm room building four times a day, resting at the top and stretching my legs. Works wonders and only takes me 5 minutes each time. Not terribly time consuming and it's free.
I have a second job which requires walking lots of stairs so I want to utilize these stairs and benefit from them they are very steep thanks for the tips
Steps are such a great form of exercise. I have been running steps for nearly 30 years and wouldn't be without it. Just filmed some last week and can feel the benefit in leg power immediately.
This was great and really important to go for only five or ten minutes when starting out and as you get into a regular routine of stair climbing two or three times a week go longer adding a few minutes longer until you can do 30 minutes..I jump rope on the other days.
I combine walking with stair climbing, every day for an hour and thirty minutes. My apartment complex has five long floors. So I start on the top floor and walk the length of each floor, all the way down to the first floor. Then I climb the stairs all the way to the top floor. I keep repeating this routine, for an hour and thirty minutes.
Thank you for this video!! I came here stuck in a rabbit hole of researching for a story i am trying to write, attempting to calculate the time that characters could climb a great height of stairs; i needed to see what 1 vs 2 steps per second looked like! Thank you, this helps, even though it likely wasn't the intended purpose of making the video! Thank you! =]
Thank You for showing us some tactic. I 63 , with the recent lockdown of Covid19 I have been doing stair climbing for the past 2 months for 30 minutes each session , my heart race so fast and my lung is grasping for air. I found it beneficial to my health as I am a type 2 diabetic patient
That's great Mee Khing. Congratulations. Keep up the good work. Some days easy- some days medium - some days hard intensity. Its the consistency + rest that gets you to your goals. It's long game ..... one step at a time and don't forget to smile and breathe
The two step method walking up without moving laterally seems to be the most biomechanically efficient method of climbing stairs. Running wastes too much energy just moving your limbs and you will fatigue much faster. Doing single steps also wastes more energy per step to move your limbs. The more steps you take at once, the more of your energy gets used to actually lift your own weight upward. Of course at some point your flexibility begins to limit how far you can swing your leg forward, and the energy consumed per step actually begins to increase. The sweet spot might be two to three steps at a time depending on your flexibility. Efficiency probably only matters if you are concerned with maximizing your sustained rate of climb. For example, in a stair race. If you just want an effective stair workout and don't care about how fast you're climbing, then efficiency isn't that big of a concern.
I totally agree with you. I actually climb with a heavy back pack and 5 kg ankle weights on each leg to also work during the "lift off motion" but when loaded with weight,any lateral or twisting motion is risky on the old knees.
e = mgh, that comes to burning as much calories as your own bodyweight on climbing and coming down 14 storeys, considering floor to ceiling height to be 9.5 feet with 6" slab. If your weight is 70 kg and you reside on floor 14, each time you down to ground and come up again, you burn 70 calories. It's simple physics, and simple way to build stamina and endurance plus lose weight.
I notice in the video you are climbing with your heels off the stair. I originally did that but changed to put my entire foot on the step and I am not having shin and ankle pains anymore, what do you think is it okay to place the entire foot on the step?
i can climb 500 steps in 10 mins. Doing this once a week can definitely lose weight. I am referring to Hilltop Murugan Temple in my hometown. Not climbing 10 storey apartment.
Hi, before covid, there was a subway station near me where everyone would sprint up the stairs to catch the bus. There weren't a lot of stairs, but I've seen people go up stairs 4 - 5 steps at a time, and people descending two at a time. Are there other people with subway stations like this? Are there communities of people who do this?
First move to the 20th floor. Then try carrying a senior 20 pound dog with a weak bladder up and down 20 floors, 4 times a day during a pandemic because a pipe broke and ruined the elevators. No parts, no technicians! Remember to wear a mask, the stairs are busy! Do this for four weeks. Also carry groceries up. Great way to get fit at 60.
yes it is, especially if you lean forward. Drive with your butt, use your heel and stay upright. Going down is even harder on the knees. Definitely use your butt
No It's not. It's actually very beneficial to the knees. But you have to do it correctly. The guy in the video doesn't know what he's talking about. He's giving you the wrong information. The way he climbs the stairs is an injury waiting to happen.
@@michelrosenthaler8540 By standing upright and not leaning forward as u go up. Also try to get about half of your foot on each stair while climbing. Using only the balls of your foot puts extra stress on your knees, increasing the chance of injury.

It can cause spine and knee problem when you get older.

Thank you, very useful suggestions and tips
thanks Eugenio
Thank you, this was very helpful
Many thanks for watching :: Keep moving !
Great
I'm going to hike a 4km high mountain which has lots of stairs, desperately looking for less tiring ways to climb stairs ....
I notice in the video you are climbing with your heels off the stair. I originally did that but changed to put my entire foot on the step and I am not having shin and ankle pains anymore, what do you think is it okay to place the entire foot on the step?
Putting entire foot on the step is the recommended way by physiologists. Yes.
OMG! ppls climbing 24, 40 flloors each day. I thought Im doing hard by climbing 7 floor a day😂

Its super video l like it
Another way to challenge yourself is to carrying weight upstairs as well.
Reminds me of Phil Dunphy
I love you
Hi sir can we be friends here? Thank u
Sir i cant climb stairs im only 19 years i cant climb without support please help me 😭
Same prob
Why?
Are you disabled?
Start - that's all you have to do if you don't have a disability. One step at a time
is stair climbing hard on the knees ?
yes it is, especially if you lean forward. Drive with your butt, use your heel and stay upright. Going down is even harder on the knees. Definitely use your butt
@@gipsi2001 Exactly.
No It's not. It's actually very beneficial to the knees. But you have to do it correctly. The guy in the video doesn't know what he's talking about. He's giving you the wrong information. The way he climbs the stairs is an injury waiting to happen.
@@yearningtruth1965 so how should we go upstairs and avoid injury while strengthening the knees?
