PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

The Millenium Dome is done!

Onward to the Opera House. Have done that in real life!

btw: my step counting seemed too distracting on the block afterall lol So I have started climbing up and down my back stairs in a long session. There are 8 steps, so I just work out how many ups I have to do. 40 of my flights was the Dome

My indoor stepping will stay as a good aerobic workout cause I love that!

FANTASTIC WORK, SWEETGIRL!

i use our stairs which have 15 steps like our worksheet so things work out well for me. it's good to see you did your calculating to make your steps work for you!

i'll mark you with an "x"!!!!

so you really climbed the opera house? when did you do that? how neat to have done in for real!!!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Thanks Jimmie, you always give good encouragement

I went up it in my young skinny teenage days. My parents took us there.
Come to think of it, it probably is going to hurt so much more this time than it did last time. I'm going to try and do it in one go, or see if I can. See if I can be 16 again lol

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I did it Opera House climbed
now I can go to bed with a clear conscience
I wanted to give up 3/4 of the way through, but then I didn't want to let myself down

I see the next one is back in England. I might have jet lag for tomorrow lol

That's awsome sweetgirl!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Good going Sweetgirl... now I'm encouraged to do a few more flights!

[sweetgirl2]

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

thanks guys

haha jimmie, if it makes you feel any better: flights are getting more each building, so I might try 10mins or so a day of straight stairs in amongst my exercises. I'll see lol

Everyone here inspires me!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

that's basically what i do, sweetgirl.
i have a penny basket at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top on a bookshelf. each time i do a flight i take a penny from one and put it in the other. that keeps me honest with how many i get done. i can do about 60 flights in 30 minutes now with a couple little breaks. i have only been counting the flights i do in succession and not the flights i do to get water or laundry, that kind of stuff.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

That's a good idea with the pennies jimmie (or 5cent pieces in my case lol)
see? I had a big plan at the start of the week to do it another way and I end up doing it like everyone else
I'm with you, I'm only going to count my stair climbing if I do a 'session' of them. Otherwise it would just be counting trips that I would do in a normal day anyway. I need to sweat it out lol

60? omg
makes my thighs hurt just thinking about that!!
one day . . . . .

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

i think the most i ever did was 88. never again i can tell you!

i have to do it that way too, sweetgirl. i need to work up the sweat and get my heart rate up. i really do need to get busy with them again. my gitty up is gone.

[sweetgirl2]

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

88???????? holy moly!!!

I have visions of me passing out and falling backwards down the stairs at the nearly 50 flights myself lol a joke (got to love that burn lol)
