I suppose I should send some royalties to that personal trainer. I've been stealing her technique.

Well I think it is hilarious.

Isn't the description more 'walk up the stairs, doing a back kick on each step'? It sounds pointless, but it's not just walking.

I have never lifted my trailing leg behind me when taking a step.

Especially not when going up stairs.

Conclusion: heebie's reading comprehension is deficient.

If you don't lift your back leg up, you'll kick the stair. Avoid kicking the stair.

I lift my back leg up, heebie, but I don't lift it behind me.

Isn't your center of balance over the front leg? So the back leg is in back?

The third bullet clearly says to list your leg behind you, so obviously this exercise is more of a step followed by an extension to one side than a step-step.

It's certainly more like walking than the Scala Sancta method of doing stairs.

Didn't Muybridge settle all of this kind of thing in 1872?

It's not just walking up the stairs. It's silly-walking up the stairs. I love it.

I can't believe no one has commented on the title of the flier.

I would have preferred "The Pissed Gazette."

I think I've posted stuff from them before. They come out monthly. My favorite one last year was something like "Lighten your backpack! American teens carry 43 billion pounds of books in backpacks EVERY YEAR - that will wreck your back!"

Did it mention how hard it is for other people to get past you if you stand on the aisle of the bus while wearing a full pack? Because backpacks are not a victimless crime.

It's not just walking up the stairs. It's silly-walking up the stairs.

The next step is to prancercise up the stairs.
