Take the stairs…
Taking the stairs instead of the lift is beneficial for your spine as it strengthens the muscles that support it, reduces the risk of low back pain, and can improve posture. This low-impact exercise is a simple way to integrate physical activity into your day, promoting overall health and reducing sedentary behaviour. To avoid strain, start slowly, maintain good posture, keep your back straight, use railings for balance if needed.
Benefits for Your Spine

* Improves Posture:�By building stronger core and back muscles, stair climbing can help you maintain better posture, reducing the likelihood of developing a hunched back. �
* Reduces Low Back Pain:�Stronger lower back muscles provide better spinal support, which can help alleviate and reduce the prevalence of low back pain. �
