STOP climbing stairs the way you do. Seriously. ๐จ
Someone asked me in my OPD:
"How many floors should I climb for fitness without damaging my knees?"
And honestly? Most people are doing it all wrong.
Here's what research shows ๐
๐ Climb 100-150 steps daily โ 35% better heart health
๐ฅ Every floor = 10-15 calories burned (better than most cardio)
๐ช Builds the exact muscles that protect your knees long-term
Sounds perfect, right?
Except when you:
โ Use only your toes (hello, joint stress)
โ Lean forward and rush
โ Ignore pain signals
โ
Do this instead:
Place your whole foot | Keep your back straight | Go steady, not speedy | Listen to your body
Stairs = nature's gym.
But technique is everything.
Share this with your fitness-obsessed friend who always takes the stairs ๐ช
(You know exactly who I'm talking about ๐)
