A member asked:
What will happen if i walk up and down the stairs for 10 minutes straight everyday? any knee damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Theoretically no: However, you may develop tendonitis or sore muscles if you do not give your knees a rest every other day or every third day so it can recover and rebuild. Too much is not always a good thing. Muscles need days off from exercise to recover and get stronger.
