Walking Stairs at home
« on: May 16, 2015, 03:34:03 am »
How many flights of stairs do you walk daily at home and is it comfortabe for you to
walk those stairs or does it cause you pain?

I live in a garden level apartment so I only have 5 stairs and I chose this apartment on purpose because of
my issues.

I have a very hard time climbing stairs because of my arthritis and fibromyalgia.  Fortunately, our house only has three steps at the front porch and at the carport.  Our washer and dryer is in the basement, but my wonderful husband does the laundry and brings it upstairs for me to put away.

We have a two story home so we go upstairs to the bedrooms.  The laundry is in the basement.

I do not have any health issues or knee problems, so for now this house suits us fine.

It is a different story for the times when my parents visit as the stairs then are quite a problem for 80+ year old people.

I have about 14 steps up to my upper level and about 10 steps down to the basement. So I probably do a lot of stairs per day.

So far they don't bother me. We'll see about that in the years to come.

I still take the stairs instead of elevators when I'm in a building just for the exercise.

I go up and down stairs all day and it's one step at a time, but I appreciate the fact I can still do it at 76 and will keep it up as long as I can.

I have 7 stairs and I go up and down them everyday I'm also 30 so the stairs aren't bothering me now plus its great exercise for me.

There is no way to get in my house without stairs, but the largest set of stairs come up from the garage (14 steps), which i go up and down to get into my car.

Only have a few steps at the porch and they are painful most of the time.  A place with even more steps is def not in my future....

My intentions are to do my basement steps at least 3 times a day and preferably 5 times a day but I miss it alot and sometimes don't even do them once a day.

Now I have just 4 steps into our single level house.  When we lived in multilevel houses, I got more exercise going up and down.  I miss that form of exercise.
