    Bummer. I don't have stairs, or any access to stairs, I work at home. Any alternatives??? I have an incline treadmill, that's it. What can I do?

    I somehow missed last Tuesday, but I am on board for Today! I went "down" 3 flights today but I assume we are only counting "UP" the stairs. SO I will be going out of my way to get this done!!
    I am excited. My legs feel stronger already!

    I'm with you but no stairs at work here and won't be home till late tonight to run the stairs to my basement. If we do lunges, how many?

    Do you count downstairs as well or is it up 400 - sorry for the stupid question, I'm having a slow day lol. Also how do you work out how many cals are in an exercise as they're not on the database so would need to be added. Thanks guys x

    Search "calisthenics" and it's up to you what you count :)

    Reporting in... apparently it is 80 steps from my floor to the garage... so up and down x 3 = 480. Done! Going for a short walk then maybe i'll come back up the stairs just for kicks and giggles. :D

    Woot woot you guys are doing great! Yep this is where you log in your amount. As the weeks go by it will be easier to keep track of your progress if you do it like below:

    (cut & paste and erase my numbers/modify to your challenges)


    Tuesday = 400 Stairs
    WK1/600 Single
    WK2/400 Single + 50 Double

    total was 424!

    420 today! I am sure there were others that I didn't think to count, like at my daughter's preschool. I am only counting the ones that I did intentionally!

    ok - I have to admit - stairs are kind of a weird thing of mine. I love them. Of any challenge you could ever pick...this is the one I am super stoked to do.
    Week 1 - 400 taking 2 at a time, first 280 w glute squeezes/back leg lift. (2nd workout like that last week:)
    Week 2 - 780 - Did 380 on a long, gradual set (2 trips up and down) and 384 on a stupid-steep set (4 trips up and down)...all 2 at a time, first 380 w glute squeezes.
    Ran about a mile broken up in between sets.
    Seriously. I love stairs.
    Anyone in Portland OR ever want to do this workout with me - let me know!
