2 exercises to make going up and down stairs easy again ✅

Stairs can feel easy again!

Currently in Italy and we have encountered so many stairs.

Stairs are important to be able to navigate bo matter where you are in the world

The two most important aspects of stair climbing is making g sure you have:

1️⃣Adequate mobility in the knee, hip and ankle

2️⃣Adequate single leg strength

Both of these movements help to challenge mobility and strength

If you do experience pain with either of these movements, there are lots of ways to modify. You can increase the height of the seating surface and decrease the height of the step by using a mini step stool

Reduce the number of repetitions needed at first if needed

2-3 sets is ideal, at least twice per week to build consistency and obtain muscle strength gains
