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... |

I also think supermarkets need to either close to the public and do dropoff and delivery people only, or actulaly have guards at the door for maximum occupancy.All the stores in my neighborhood have been doing this since last Monday. |

Posted by ntrainride on Tue Mar 31 01:49:04 2020, in response to Re: Elevator etiquette, posted by Charles G on Mon Mar 30 20:48:24 2020. i never got the idea of running as a sport. i don't care what the pundits say. the human body is not designed to run, beyond relatively short bursts to escape beasts or enemies. over time, continuously running for longer than, say, ten minutes will definitly cause "structual" damage.in contrast, our bodies are perfect machines for walking and climbing. a human walking is as natural as a tree growing. as long as you don't exceed your body's natural capacity for physical activity you could walk every day for your whole life and never damgage or injure yourself. and it sustains. at age sixty-five i can walk twenty miles at a stretch as easily as i could when i was twelve. better, actually. taking into account how we actually accomplish walking up and down a flighf of stairs, running up and down them seems like an especially damaging activity to undertake. |

Running is the problem for many people.I immediately got injuries when I started running in my 20s. But I can walk up and down stairs and hills to this day. When I was younger I could climb 3,000 vertical feet in a day with no problem, and twice I did 6,000 feet on a single day without any serious resulting misery. |

"Our grocery stores and drug stores do have security guards and they are limiting the number of people inside. We have to line up on the sidewalk"None of the "we're concerned about our customers" emails have mentioned anything about this yet. Last time I drove by a certain store, the lot was almost completely packed. |
