Persons who live in top fats and who
have to climb what seems to them endless
staircases to reach their homes should
not take the matter to heart, for we'll
known physician declares that stair
climbing is the very best thing for the
health when performed in a proper man
ner.
Usually a person treads on the ball OF
his foot In taking each step. This Is very
tiresome and wearying, as 1t throws the
entire suspended weight of the body on
the muscles of the legs and feet. In walk
ing or climbing stairs the right method Is
to seek for the most equal distribution
possible of the body's weight.
In walking upstairs the feet should De
placed squarely down on each step. heel
and ALL and then the work should be per-
formed slowly and deliberately. In this
way there is no strain upon any particu-
lar muscle but each one is doing it's duty
in a natural manner.
Climbing stairs in this manner is an ex-
cellent form of exercise for the lower
limbs. and, provided the chest is thrown
well back and the climber does not get
into the habit of bending half double
when ascending stairs, is excellent for the
lungs and heart. The latter is excited to
a more rapid action and the lungs get full
play.
The doctor is in the habit of prescribing
systematic stair-climbing for all his pa
tfents who are suffering from dyspepsia
or lung trouble, and says that many a
case Of incipient consumption has been
cured by the patient having to climb
stairs.
