This thread is one in which a new fitness and dietary challenge is posted each week. The challenges begin on Monday. Lets keep this rolling!
Here are the challenges/format to post for this week: (ANY one can join in at ANY time!)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
FITNESS CHALLENGE:
Walk up 35 Flights of Stairs this Week (Approx. 1050 Steps). That’s an Average of 5 Flights a Day.
How are you going to accomplish this challenge? Take the stairs instead of the escalator/elevator and/or Try the StairMaster.
FYI: A flight of stairs is categorized as a set of steps reaching from one floor to another in a building. The usual amount of stairs in "a flight" is around 30, though it differs widely (answers.com)
DIETARY CHALLENGE:
Consume at least 5 servings of fruits/vegetables each day.

I have basement steps!!! Im in0 -
Totally doing this with you! Thanks!
And I thought my stairs were a flight...but there are only 15 steps! So I guess two trips up them will be one flight! Amazing what you learn each day!0 -
sounds like another great challenge!!!!
Thanks, :flowerforyou: Pam0 -
Woo! Great idea! I need those fruits and veg back cause I've been low the last 2 days, and I'm just thinking, where did all my F/V go! Maybe I need to go shopping...
I love the idea of stairs! My apt. has stairs, and there's about 20 steps/flight and not that many flights, but it'll do. In my old apt. there were 19 floors, and it would have been AWESOME to climb to the top! I meant to, but I never did it. I had difficulty getting up 6 flights!!0 -
I am in for this challenge! The only stairs I have are the ones going down stairs. That is 14 steps so I will do two trips to every flight.0

I totally bailed on last week's with being sick and getting the puppy lol. SO, I will be joining the fun for this one! fruits and veggies-perfect for me getting back at it! And I guess I will be doing the stairmaster a couple times this week since I rarely EVER need to go upstairs haha.0
-
This week's challenge will definitely push me more than last week's. Moving into different territory is always good.0

I'm in on the stairs. I have a story and a half house - will go up and down the steps. Not sure about the Fruits/Vegetables - can't manage my sugar counts well on those yet. Still trying to figure that out.0

Hope you don't mind but I like last week's challenge and I didn't get to do it (newbie here). So i"m opting to due that one instead.0

New here and love the idea of a weekly challenge, I'm in!0

I would love to join in... this will get me motivated to get to the gym in the morning! And I need to up my intake of vegetables.0
-
I would love to join. I have stairs in the house that I'm up and down with my toddler quite a bit, I'm curious to see how many flights I'm currently doing and how much more would equal 5 flights a day.
I'll have to stock up on fruits and veggies at the grocery store tomorrow. I definitely have a harder time getting my veggies than fruit.0 -
This sounds great! Count me in.0
