Nobody will no longer see the floor often is folded so that one hand goes up at right angles to the ground plane and then the next part is placed parallel to this plane, to make way for a new perpendicular, which is repeated in a spiral or a broken line to highly variable elevations. Stooping and putting his left hand in one of the uprights, and right in the corresponding horizontal, is in possession of a momentary step or rung. Each of these steps, formed as shown by two elements, is situated a little above and below the previous process, which gives meaning to the stairs, as any other combination may produce forms most beautiful and picturesque, but unable moved from one floor to the first floor.
Stairs be up front, then back or side particularly uncomfortable. The natural attitude is standing, arms hanging easily, head erect but not so much that the eyes no longer see the steps immediately above that step, and breathing slowly and regularly. To climb a ladder begins to lift that part of the body located on the right below, usually encased in leather or suede, and that exceptions should be exactly in step. Posted on the first step that party, which call for short walk, collect the equivalent left (also called walking, but not to be confused with the aforementioned foot), and taking it to the height of the foot, is made to proceed to place it in the second step, which will rest on foot, and rest on the first foot. (The first steps are always the most difficult to acquire the necessary coordination. The coincidence of name between the foot and the foot makes it difficult to explain. Be especially careful not to lift while foot and foot.)
Arrived in this way a second step, in turn repeat the movements enough to meet the bottom of the stairs. It comes out of it easily, with a light tap of the heel to fix in place, which will not move until the time of descent.
