      An aha moment in this video - keeping the knee pointed toward the little toe when going down stairs appears to alleviate all my pain! So simple, yet not taught in my pt sessions. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🎉❤

      Fantastic! It's the little things. I had the same issue when I was dealing with a knee injury in the past. The knee pointing outward changed it for me, + that position activates and strengthens your hip muscles! so it's really a win-win! 😊

Very many thanks. I shall be starting your exercises today! 😊

      I found this video at just the right time. I'm 73, live in New York City and there are a lot of stairs that need to be navigated in order to get around. Subway stairs are the most problematic because they're steep, long, and made out of concrete. Believe it or not, climbing the stairs isn't nearly as difficult as going down the stairs, and I'm going to faithfully do these exercises. Thank you so much for making videos like these.

  • @belvedere92

    Good to see Vazir's exercises to strengthen the muscles used in climbing stairs. My approach, however was different. I am 83, so I have had some proof that my ideas from 55 years ago were good. In my late 20's I was a student at a college in Boston where most of the buildings were 4 or 5 stories high with no elevators and initially my knees were painful and hurt each and every time I went for classes. But about 18 months later that pain was gone. Logically, I concluded that climbing stairs was what I needed.
    So when some years later I decided to build a house for my retirement I had a house with 4 levels designed for me. 29 steps total. My architect, my relatives and all of my neighbors expressed consternation at what they saw as my building punishment for my retirement.
    This experiment worked quite well for me and for my wife. The only time we have difficulty with my stairs is after we spent a couple weeks vacationing at ground level and never climbing when away from home. Practice what you need for later. not just for today.

    My mom who was living with us, at 94 , had a 10 day hospital bout. She could only shuffle a few steps after that. But we had a 5 step front porch entrance. We daily went to parks, or a mall or visited friends and family. (She had oxygen and a walker)
    Mom worked diligently for three months with chair exercises and going up and down on just one or two steps on our inside stairs. And she did it! She got down and up the front porch. She was exuberant! Mom had two more years of good life before her lungs gave out (emphysema)
    She used to say, “ If only I hadn’t smoked!”
    Miss her a lot.

      Keep the stairs eventhough it is difficult at least with stairs you get more exercise. At 79 I bought a townhouse with stairs to continually get exercisse. Climbing those is the only exercise my husband does. Me, I'll exercise to avoid pain. Having broken back, then right hip then left I must exercise to keep from deteriorating. I want to keep my blood moving & muscles able to lift me.

    My co worker who was about 350 lbs had great difficulty getting up the stairs at work. She was literally dragging her weight up the stairs. I asked her if she can walk on her tippy toes and she said yes and I told her to try that as it uses different muscles. She came to me a few days later with tears in her eyes and she said "You have given me a new lease on life". Since then she has lost all the weight and is enjoying her new found freedom.

Therefore, I really didn’t put much thought into the matter. I just simply did what I needed to do, to exit the therapy.

    I note the stairs are very narrow and you spring up the staircase using the front of your foot. I think it is worth mentioning one should put the whole foot on each stair (where possible) when assending a staircase. It takes stress off your knees.

    I still have my Firm videos and the Fanny lifter 2-piece stepper, this would work great! I'm 64 and can still run up 17 stairs several times a day but sometimes I get a little stiff and off balance when coming back downstairs. I'm also 20 pounds overweight. I'll try these exercises.

    Thank you for your good advice. I had a lower back operation 4 yrs ago when 2 young men on bicycles hit me and I fell down on my back. I am ok now, only somehow I cannot walk standing straight like I used to. Also using a cane I walk slightly bent. Besides I get tired and the muscles of my left arm start to hurt me. Walking with the help of a roller I am straight like a pole, I can walk for long distances and what is amazing, I can even run. My doctor says I should exercise my butt and thigh muscles. If one day you could give a few other hints for me and other people with similar problems?

      Increase protein slowly, coming up to 100g a day, if you can, even more. (100g protein = about 400g steak or 500g ground beef or salmon). That will keep you satisfied for longer, and you may lose some weight. Look into meat based nutrition like steaks, ground meat, fish, eggs with grilled vegetables and green salad, quit seed oils, other processed foods, sugar, gluten (bread and baked goods), rice, pasta and potatoes, all fruits and anything with fructose (honey), and dairy. That means elimination diet. After about 8 weeks you can reintroduce one food in 3 days and look if you have no issues. Never get back to highly processed foods, seed oils and sugar.
      Look into Fodmap protocol as well as keto/ carnivore diets (low carb) (Dr. Cywes, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Bickman, also early videos).

    I will be 74 in November. I had bilateral hip replacement maybe 10 years ago, and left knee replacement after that. These are some fair exercises. They wanted us doing "arm chair push ups: prior to both surgeries. I would suggest that for starting out. Nice that you put in a going down the stairs exercise. Can't say that I have ever heard of some one falling while going up the stairs, but many many cases of getting hurt going down the stairs. Totally different ways of loading and unloading your leg muscles.
    Oh, best back relief exercise I have heard of, and especially for swimmers, "Suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine." from a coach at Speedo. So many hip and back problems come from slouching.

      🎁THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age brought by Christ to purify man with His Word"
      (In the future, whether you will be blessed or cursed will be decided based on your actions and behavior today. If God will make you perfect, it will be right now, at this time; there will be no other opportunity in the future. In the future, if any trials befall you, any events take place, or any calamities befall you, God wants to make you perfect; this is a certain and indisputable fact. Almost no one from past generations has experienced this; even in the time of Jesus the revelations of today did not exist. The words spoken to you, what you understand, and things you experience have all reached a new peak. You do not go away in the midst of trials and chastisements, and this is enough to prove that God's work has reached unprecedented glory. So, it is appropriate that each of you do your best and do not limit your efforts so that God can make you perfect. During these times you should not pay attention to negative things. When you manage things, do so with a heart that seeks, and caresses, a heart that longs for God. For example, your older brothers and sisters have religious beliefs, but you can pray, submit, eat and drink the word of God, and sing hymns.... It means whatever you can do, whatever role you can play, put your all into it with all the energy you can muster. Then when you can understand the truth and enter into the reality of God's word, you have been made perfect by God.)
      Almighty God said
      In the future, whether you will be blessed or cursed will be decided based on your actions and behavior today. If God will make you perfect, that is certainly now, at this time; there won't be another chance in the future. Even now, God really wants to make you perfect, and this is not a way of speaking. In the future, if any trials befall you, any events take place, or any calamities befall you, God wants to make you perfect; this is a certain and indisputable fact. From where can it be seen?
      This is seen in the fact that the word of God, in all ages and generations, has never reached such a high peak as it is today. It has entered into the highest scope, and the work of the Holy Spirit in all mankind today has never happened before. Almost no one from past generations has experienced this; even in the time of Jesus the revelations of today did not exist. The words spoken to you, what you understand, and things you experience have all reached a new peak. 🔴
      You do NOT leave the midst of TRIALS and PUSHING, and this is enough to prove that God's work has reached beyond what man can do, nor is it something that man maintains; but rather it is the work of God Himself. So, from the many facts of God's work, it can be seen that God wants to make man perfect, and He can certainly make you perfect. If you can see this, if you can have this new discovery, you will not wait for the second coming of Jesus; instead, you will let God make you perfect in the present time. So, it is appropriate that each of you do your best and do not limit your efforts so that God can make you perfect. 🙏
      During these TIMES NEGATIVE THINGS should NOT be ignored. First, put aside and IGNORE ANYTHING that makes you feel negative. 🔴
      When you MANAGE things--things, DO so WITH a HEART that SEARCHES and caresses, a HEART SUBJECTING to GOD. Whenever you discover a weakness within yourself but do not submit to its control and do the duty you are supposed to do, it is a positive step forward. For example, your older brothers and sisters have religious beliefs, but you can pray, submit, eat and drink the word of God, and sing hymns.... It means whatever you are capable of doing, whatever role you are capable of performing, put your all--everything into it with ALL THE STRENGTH YOU CAN MUSTER.🙏
      DO NOT WAIT idly. GIVING--PLEASE GOD in DOING your DUTY is the first STEP. Then when you can understand the truth and ENTER into the REALITY of the WORD of GOD, you are MADE PERFECT by GOD. 🙏
      From The WORD, Vol. 1. The Manifestation and Work of God. Regarding the Performance of Each in His ...
      Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Revelation 18:9,13)
      The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/TH-cam! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes is I will make a pillar totemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17). ... "But the Guide, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you" (John 14:26). ... "They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... Fulfillment that He Himself will cleanse us with His Word with judgment and chastisement in "Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet" "Peter said to him, "I will never wash your Feet." "If I don't wash you, you have nothing to do with me" he repliedof Jesus. (John 13:8). ... "If you know me, you know my Father. From now on you know him and you have seen him." (John 14:7). ... And fulfillment of (The Work of the Holy Spirit) "Sorrow will be Joy" "" Just a little while and you will no longer see me; and after a little while, you will see me again." (John 16:16). .. ." The same is true of you: you are depressed now, but I will meet you again and your hearts will overflow with joy that no one can take away." (John 16:22). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐
