In reply to Sharon. This tip never suggests that you can't use a cane or a helping hand. You can use a cane or a helping hand the same way you use your leg by pushing straight down as you go up.

Nice for a healthy person. For myself, I am unable to step onto a simple curb without my cane or a helping hand from someone.

Hi Mark,

For a less jarring trip down the stairs, try spending more time on your standing leg. http://www.freeyourneck.com/walking/

Love the tip. It may sound odd, but I for one could also use a tip on going down the stairs. I sense I go down the steps in a jarring way.

I love the idea of thinking of the chair as my legs (Tip 64) as well as how to climb up stairs with more ease and efficiency. Thank you Leland! I will share with my students.

The tip on stair climbing was an instant success. I passed the information on the technique to an International group of patients with COPD – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Within 24 hours I received several ecstatic responses from people who were suddenly able to walk up the stairs without stopping and without being totally out of breath.

Today’s tip on bending and picking items off the floor is equally helpful. COPD requires economy of movement so that one can make efficient use of the oxygen in spite of having reduced lung function.

I do find it extraordinary that so many of our species have developed such poor posture during our evolution. Did early members of the human race set a better example?

Thank you once again, Leland. Your tips are invaluable.

In reply to Arlette Sieger. Thanks Arlette! There is a Share button on the blog on the upper left and one on the website on the lower left. The one on the website is small because I'm trying to avoid clutter. But if you can't find the buttons, you can always just copy the URL and paste it into Facebook. And I would be grateful. Leland

great video
Leland, I think it would be good if you have a “like” prompt for Facebook and such so your website can be posted on individual’s websites.
