The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

that's interesting.
i timed my flights one night during a commercial. i did 12 flights, steady paced, no running but continuous and only counting the upward and not the decent.
if i am calculating right, in 16 minutes i would be able to do 96 flights.
2 minutes = 12
4 minutes = 24
8 minutes = 48
16 minutes = 96

the numbers are not too far off, but, i could never go 16 minutes. i was thinking about this yesterday as i was climbing. i am, for all intentional purposes, on a steep incline since i am actually going up stairs. would you agree with that? does that make sense? do you think this would be harder? i know nothing really about stairmasters but i'll bet they are able to inclines and such. i just know that i would not be able to go 15 minutes at a time up these stairs.

this has really peaked my interest.

and btw, great job on you climb! is you buttocks hurting yet? lol
i can feel muscles aching that haven't ached in awhile!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Doesn't it just!!! (work up a sweat). I don't plan to go out of my way to do extra stairs every day...but when now I hardly ever take elevators when I come across them...and when the building is tall...phew! Can't have whoever I'm with waiting too long for me at the top!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

I live in a high rise and I live on the 6th floor. This morning after reading all the post on here, I decided to take the steps. I counted them....88 STEPS. I will take the steps each time now. I am also going to start power walking tonight It looks like rain though Hopefully by the time I get home, rain is gone.

could you go to the pledging flights thread and tell us which climb you will tackle first? there is a worksheet for your use that you will find in the very first post.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

woo hoo Jimmie Jo I'm in the chase for platinum but at 1,000,000 points it will be an ultramarathon to get

I used to love climbing the stairs. I remember when I was 7 my grandmother was visiting us and we were at the staue of liberty and they wwere waiting in the line for the elevator and i raced them up the stairs. I was there waitng for an eternity it seemed like cause my dad agreed only if I'd wait by the elevator for them if I got there first and I was busting to say I beat you every time the doors opened.

I have been having fun checking out the new gyms and Mother's yard work while not as intense as mine was is still giving me a free workout just about every day pulling all the weeds and uprooting all the volunteer trees in her beds and paths. i swear I could have the entire staff of the victory garden show here working full time and she would still find work for me to do

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Really glad you're pleased with the graphic Jimmie. Must be way cool. I love the way you're organising this challenge... such fun!

2big... can just picture you at 7 running up those stairs. Boy, the energy we had at that age! Though on this WOE, we get to come close!

Skipped my exercise this morning . Got people coming so had to get the housework done, which was almost as tiring! Dogs got their walk though.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

oh boy you exceeded your 750 points allowed total for a day woo hoo.

yep the only way I know how close folk are to the medals is when they earn it it shows on my page. I see total points which is what gets posted each week, medals won, the last day you posted, and your challenge level. In theory I could click your first column and see everyday what you did and total those all up to get a running total but that is just too much work when we got so many folk going and many for over a yr now.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

oh i agree, 2ibg! too much work indeed!

i didn't realize i had exceeded my daily limit! drat the luck! i want every point i worked for!!!! lol

i'll be there soon, i promise!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

i assume since no one has been in here for awhile that all is good in the world of goalieland.

i continue to keep biking and finished the ball push up challnege.....i may have already reported that. i got my silver! finally!

i will finish up the forth rail bridge today. i did it in 3 days doing 15 flights per day. for a couple of different reasons, i think i will do all the virtual buildings first then carry on with the mountains.

i have asked sadie@126 to join us here. we all know the importance of keeping up with things when we reach goal.
