Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I didn't really know what the presidential challenge was, so I did a search and found it. Nifty! I signed up and will definitely be counting my steps

don't just count your steps, christine, count the ab work you are doing too. log those in as calisthenics. you can count mowing, walking anything else you do. i think house work is on the list too! i don't count all that stuff. just my regular stuff plus the mowing.

I'll be sure to count everything. I probably won't log housework (because it's just something I do everyday, not really exercise imo) unless it's huge stuff like scrubbing all my windows or cleaning the garage lol.

Got back July 4 and over the last 3 days been up top of Millennium Dome, England 320 steps 21 flights and Sydney Opera House, Australia 425 steps 28 flights; and am now on my way up Clifton Suspension Bridge, England about 1/4 the way.

Count me in as well. I am not too clear on how many steps count as a flight? Is it 15? Not sure what my goal will be but this will be a motivator to get moving!!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

i will add you to my list of climbers, kislandmom!

there are 15 steps to an average flight. those are the numbers used if using the chart provided.

take the number of steps in your climb, divide it by the number of steps in your flights and you will get the number of flights you must climb to reack the top.

say that you have 13 steps instead of 15.
climbing the Millennium Dome
320 steps divided by 13 = 24.615 (round that up to 25) so you would climb 25 instead of 21.

OR
you can just count the steps. the Mellinnium Dome is 320 steps no matter how many steps are in your flights.
