There's more to think about than just the aerobic issues with stair climbing. Going down stairs is tough on the knees. Going up stairs is tough on the achilles. If you live in a high-rise and make the trek once or maybe twice a day you'll be ok -- but more than that can take a toll on your body.In my early 30's I was a mildly competitive runner and I lived in a 35 story building. One particularly icy winter I decided that I would get my workouts in by running up the stairs then taking the elevator back down to the lobby and repeating a few times (I knew about going down stairs being bad for the knees...). After 3 days of this workout I had an achilles injury that kept me on the couch for 3 weeks... |
