    So I saw a few people ask about what counts as stairs - only up, up and down, etc. Has there been an official ruling (lol)?

    Hmm I will need to rig something up for a stair stepper. Have to go poke around in the shed and see what I have! Or I guess I can go up/down on the outside step but that seems kind of odd lol!

    I agree with you. Maybe the captains make the threads? Hmm...

    Awesome job guys! I'm so glad to see some of you guys going as far as you can. Remember who ever exceeds the weekly challenge by the most steps will win their team extra points.

    I swung in here quickly just to tell what the ruling will be. Only going up will count. Each step will count as one so stepping two feet on one step counts as one step but no jumping steps please. I've been using a step up ladder and I step up right, up left (one), down right, down left then up left, up right (two). EDIT: i also think stepping stairs normally like right on one step then left on the step above is acceptable as well =] I'm actually doing mine at work too lol.

    Also we'll be getting team threads up very shortly. Mrtentaclenun and myself will be watching over explosives together until a captain is found. We've received awesome ideas for the next challenge and one of which I absolutely fell inlove with. Since I'm only on my iPhone at the moment I cannot adjust the list but i'll get it to you guys ASAP. For you guys the climb stairs everyday record it and maybe try to earn your teams some extra points =]

    Today was my day off from work so I tried to do my stairs here at home (I live in an upstairs apt and its exactly 15 steps to the top) I did my 300 steps today. I wanted to do more but there was a weird guy in the laundry room watching me the whole time... creepy! I wonder if he was a zombie thinking about eating my brains! Quick throw me a baseball bat!
    300 down 1500 to go :-)

    Im a little ticked that I did 1200stairs this morning and had a really bad day and came home to check the threads just to discover only upstairs count and not down stairs...so I wasn't happy with my new 600 number, so I went back out and did another 600 so my number would be 1200 again (that's 2400stairs all together)...anyone using a stair climber has a complete unfair advantage because they can go the same number of steps as me in half the time and not be as sore.

    On another note...there is the stair treadmill, running up stairs, step ups, and aerobic step to choose from in system. Step ups-vigorous effort burns about the same calories as running up stairs, and aerobic step and treadmill stairs burn about the same calories... but the difference between the two groups is several hundred calories..

    I did 2400 stairs in 30minutes..grr I mean 1200 stairs LOL...im seeing other ppl doing way less stairs in double the time it took me... I was going really fast, sweating balls...I did in 5minute incriments or so and each time I sweated equally as much as the first...im just trying to be realistic with myself so I logged it as aerobic step cuz it burned the least calories... but step ups vigorous sounds more like what I was doing but burns almost double the calories...im just not sure what to enter, one way ill be really far underestimating and the other ill be really far overestimating... ugh wish I could afford a hrm
