Hi Clint. Wondering where in Wisconsin you are a personal trainer. We’re in Manitowoc county. Husband is trying to deal with residual pain/injury in his knees/quads from elk hunting/hiking at altitude with our 24 year old son in Wyoming.
Clint, is there any downside to doing stairs? I work in a power plant and recently started taking the stairs. I’m doing anywhere from 400 to 800 stairs a shift.
Stairs are actually great assuming that you don’t have an underlying condition. A few come to mind and that would be ACL/MCL tear, meniscus tear and an issue with the patella tendon. Assuming you don’t have pain you should be fine and it’s actually a great way to burn calories throughout your day.
I'm glad that you had a video like this. All those tips are good, but the one that stands out the most is the accountability tip. I know it's the "new year, new me" thoughts, but I seriously need to get more motivated and more active. Watching this video is keeping me accountable. Thanks!
