If I'm new to stair climbing, how many stairs should I climb per session?

I would take it easy to start, nothing like having soar legs and gluts! Even worse have your sciatic flare up!

Start out slow, meaning don’t do it for too long or that many steps. You have to build up slowly like 50 steps one week, 100 the next or third week even and so on. Giving your legs time to heal for a day. Doing it every other day.

You have a better chance of injuring yourself the older you get too. We have to strengthen our tendons slowly because they tend to weaken the older we get and no tension put on them that working out puts on them.

say your 30 now and you use to do X amount of weight, or use to do something X amount of times when you were 18. You don’t want to jump right in where you left off especially if you haven’t worked out for the entire 12 years. At least I wouldn’t.

If you’re a beginner, try to do at least 15 minutes. You can work you way up gradually. Also, it depends on what your fitness goals are. Always let your doctor know what you’re doing. 😊

Pace yourself. 10/15 minutes at a walking pace.
