I am officially banning myself from all elevators. I will walk up and down the stairs from now on, at work, at my apartment, and anytime I take a subway. I live on the 7th floor in my apartment complex, so it will be a bit of a walk, but a good walk. Since the weather is warming up, I am also officially banning myself from taking the bus to the subway station. I can walk. Yall wish me luck!

That is a great step in the right direction. 7 flights of stairs can be a challenge just don't do it if you buy 2 weeks worth of groceries all at once haha.
Regardless you have my support0 -
Sounds like a great idea! Stair climbing is great exercise. Good for you.0

That's a great idea! Something you can do without having to spend money on equipment or memberships! Good luck.0

you're going to love the results
and the soreness too, who knew walking so much would leave me that sore.
i enjoy walking, but sometimes i have to force myself to walk during my lunch breaks and it's really paying off.
even when my head didn't want to, my brain would check-out but my legs would "just do it"
have fun and keep us posted0 -
Good for you!!0

Good luck to you! I take stairs instead of escalators and I also climb 5 flights off stairs at my flat building, makes me feel so much better to take stairs/steps etc
Go you!

I clicked it expecting to read about someone so big that they got banned from using elevators. I was ready to start arguing that it was not possible to be banned.
OP you are going to have some sore gluts but the results will be amazing if you need to use the stairs a lot.0 -
