- cogman10 2y agoInterestingly, going down might be the worst case for stairs :) While climbing stairs is fairly low impact on the joints, descending is high impact (depending on how fast you go). There are not much health benefits from going down stairs beyond what you'd get from regular walking. There are some (mostly minor) risks. Just something to think about. (yes, I take the stairs up and down).
