is it a blessing or a curse to walk walk walk up & down them?

Mixed. My hips hurt so bad during my pregnancy, stairs were awful. And I have asthma, so when it is acting up, a flight of stairs might as well be Mt. Everest. But otherwise, the exercise is great. Stairclimbing is excellent for the heart. It can be tiring for sure, so I tend to have a spot to pile stuff up and grab what I can for each trip up or down.

I don't mind them but I do try to combine trips :) like just now my son ask for medicine for a headache and I thought the pain reliever was downstairs. I went down there only to realize it was up here. Not happy lol
