I need a challenge of 30 stair flights a day for 30 day’s! But I’m a bit unsure I can do it. Of course, if I count going DOWN stairs it’s more likely.
I need more excercise, and one problem is trying to do it all before or after work but being somewhat sedentary all day. I feel my health/ weight would do better with more activity throughout day or multiple 10-15 min things. Doctoring involves so much computer time these days!
My work takes me to 10 different floors of the hospital and the elevators are vey slow. Yet there’s a tendency to feel that’s always faster, or worry about arriving of breath. But I’m “ sitting “ on a perfect intermittent excercise opportunity.
Things I know can work are to do a few flights ( if going from 1-10th, for example), and then finish on elevator, yes DO walk down stairs as there are actually different muscle groups in play, and so on.
Has anyone got some tips on how to become s good stair- climber and get over the mindset of taking the elevator? I feel that if I could do even a third or half of the flights I travel every single day, that’d go a long way toward reversing my middle- aged creep.
Thoughts and suggestions welcome!
