PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Can I join? I have a stair stepper and have used it a handful of times, but can only do 5 minutes at a time. My knees hurt a bit when I use the machine, but I can climb the stairs in my house just fine without pain or problem. I wonder if I should lose more weight before using the stair stepper? Anyway, I plan to read through the rules and get started by this weekend if that's okay.

please yes do join us! us die hard stair climbers would love to have you!

you might be right with your thinking on the stair stepper. i've not used one of those but don't you have to set the difficulty or something? maybe setting it to the lowest, easiest would help? but then again, i really don't know much about the machines.

carole, are you counting your steps per flight differently? like maybe your particular flights have 17 or 18 steps intead of the standard 15?

Ben Nevis, Scotland 8,810 steps 587 flights. not that you are off very much but i know your 'monk' type personality.

Wow! We'll get 1571 done in no time! Can't believe it's seems so easy this time around. I guess we're not focusing so much on "getting to the top" so it seems quicker... plus we've become expert climbers!
