CALLING ALL BOONIE STOMPERS!!!!!!!!!!

CALLING ALL SAL'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are the ones really keeping me motivated with this right at the moment. don't get wrong, i am happy for every climber, happy for every srep and flight but the ones right there on the same mountain are the ones i am looking to for energy.

how many do you have?
i have just finished 100 flights and got 90 in yesterday in hopes that i would be right on your furry little climbing boots, susan.

1128/2028 i got 900 to go

Hello everyone

I just wanted to update you on my progress for today. So far I am at 300/490 to make it to the top of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. I am sure that I will make it there by tonight. Only 190 more steps to go.

Man I must admit this is getting addictive lol

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

By the way... I have a question does anyone know how many calories we are burning per each flight of stairs? Just walking not running or anything like that.

I would appreciate your help. I tried fitday but I might not be entering the right info or something cause i'm not getting any response.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

1048, Jimmie that's 1000 plus 48

That's an answer I'd like too - might get me moving more if I could tally calories with the stairs climbed!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

1048, Jimmie that's 1000 plus 48

love, i log my flights into fitday. it may not as accurate as an hrm but at least you get an idea of what's going on.
let me pull up the fitday site and see if i can help you through this.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

yeah, I'm curious about the number of calories burned as well....I'm sure it'll inspire me to do more stairs!!!

By the way, I now have 10 co-workers....well, 9 co-workers and 1 boss, going up the stairs with me during lunch. That's 11 people climbing, goofing off & having fun in the stairwell! Everyone is climbing Slieve Donard with me, and some are also climbing at non-lunch time to get those extra calories burned off (and to catch up with me, too!).

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

after you log in to your account, click on activities
i already have walking in my add recent list. if you don't, click on browse and select walking
from the list that pops up you can choose downstairs or Up stairs, using or climbing up ladder. click add
at this point you will be back at the activites page.

now, under the time spent column you will see this
0:01
put the number of minutes you climbed, not the flights but the time.
for today, i climbed 47 minutes so my entry looks like this
0:47

when you have your time in, click on save changes. you should then see the calories that you burned in the appropriate column.
