You maintain momentum by not actually straightening your legs till you get to the top.

If I think too much about going up or downstairs, I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks @WhatWouldJeevesDo I'm going to be stuck downstairs all day now 🤣

Excellent!
Now I'm wondering how to roll grated cheese uphill. Will it naturally form a ball, like a snowman? Will you only be able to roll one sliver at a time?
You may have invented a new sport, Mountainpika!

Your mind and mine work the same way.
If it's warm, the cheese should roll into a ball. But on a cold day, it could be a problem.

Oh no when the hell did I stop doing this. I'm assuming since carrying a baby up the stairs. If I ever go up empty handed I will return to my natural galloping state

Granted, cheese rolling doesn't work quite as well uphill...
But it doesn't take much to miss the step on your giant 2-step leap, or you may catch it on the edge of the stair, and back you go..!!

Thank you for the healing vibe. It's getting there!

Ha - chance would be a fine thing! Definitely one at a time going up and even slower coming down.

Used to, my legs couldn't take it now lol.

Doing this is overstressing the staircase and will result in a catastrophic collapse
eventually.

Surely not! We haven’t even mentioned hopping yet.

How do you feel about galloping up on all fours?

I used to do this as a child. Used to drive my DM mad for some reason!

JohnTheRevelator · 09/07/2024 15:49

I struggle to do one step at a time,never mind 2! But then I do have arthritic knees and hips.

VolvoFan · 09/07/2024 15:42

Haha, no. YANBU. It's good exercise.

That sounds fun!! Gonna try it...

SilverSimca · 09/07/2024 15:30

I just miss going up one at a time - I can't put much weight on my right knee so I have to go up each step left foot on step, right foot on step, left foot on step above, right foot on step above, it takes forever.

Notaflippinclue · 09/07/2024 15:25

Bungalows R us - just wait till you hit 70

serialcatbuyer · 09/07/2024 15:04

Do you ever start like that then end up speed crawling up the stairs ? It's even faster

ds jumps the last 4 steps, pivoting on the newel post to land halfway along the hallway. I was about to tick him off when I wondered when I stopped doing that? Probably when I was pregnant with him.

When the newell post suddenly peels away from the rest of the stairs is a good time! Repeated stress will weaken it
It is fun tho'

This is my chosen method. My stairs are steep with narrow treads so 2 at a time might cause a broken ankle. All fours is brilliant

Pieceofpurplesky · 09/07/2024 14:54

I hate you all 🤣I have little fat legs and have always been jealous of people who can don't!

I love a four legged canter though.

How about galloping down on all fours?

I don’t think I would attempt it. My arms aren’t strong enough. Well done if you can, though.
