      8 SECONDS FOR EVERY 2 STEPS CLIMBED? Did Korea just discover the secret of immortality and it’s to keep climbing stairs?

        Its possible to climb 4 steps at once

        Assuming you can do it in a second and that the way back down takes the same amount of time, you can increase your life by 8 seconds per second

        If you do this for 20 years continuously, you could live to over 160 years old

          Just spend 3 hours a day climbing stairs and you live 1 more day. Ez. Doctors hate this one simple trick.

    I think it is more of presenting a choice.

    Do you want to be fit and slim? Take the stairs.

    Do you want to be fat? Take the escalator.

    Anyone know what the speech bubble says?

      it’s not any less problematic if that’s the case because it still assumes people taking the escalator do it because they want to, rather than having like a limp or something. that sort of normalized stigma isn’t good.

    I think it’s a good nudge tbh. Stairs are proven again and again to be an incredibly healthy workout given that you don’t have issues with your knees.

    I just came back from Japan and 20k steps a day and hundreds of stairs for a month really put me in shape and made me realize how important good shoes are lol

      I think stairs on the way up is good for health and fine for knees, stairs on the way down doesn’t do as much for health and hurts my knees if I do too much.
