:smile: Anyone interested in doing a stairs challenge? I find myself taking the steps more and more at work so I am pledging to do a minimum of 400 flights of stairs for the month.

Who's with me

    Why not, I need a challenge. I am going to count the number of steps instead of flights though. I have a little bench that I can use at home. So 400 flights is about 4000 steps (I think). I can do that.

    I don't have stairs at work but want to join this challenge. I am going to go with what someone about went with at 4000 steps a month. Yay I am so excited to start something new.

    EEK! I am starting in a severe deficit, but I will try this. I have 10 flights so far between the 1st and 2nd, so I will have to step it up. I did do 100 flights in one day back in July but can't count on that as I have no big hikes planned through September.
    So 10/400 so far. 28 days left so 14 flights per day EEK!

    So yesterday I forgot about the challenge (opps). Today I made up for it a little with 205 steps. 339/4000 steps done! Not bad at all. I did it while I watched tv. Is anyone else doing it at home on a step stool or are you hitting actual flights of stairs?
