# Stair Climbing

Stand upright at the foot of a flight of stairs, with your arms relaxed by your sides.

## How to do it

1. Stand upright at the foot of a flight of stairs, with your arms relaxed by your sides.
2. Climb one step at a time, placing your whole foot on each step and pushing through your heel until your leg is straight.
3. Swing your arms naturally and keep a steady rhythm. Hold the handrail if you need it for balance.
4. Keep climbing for the desired duration. When you reach the top, walk back down slowly and climb again.
