I'm contimplating whether or not to do more stairs today...I've done 3500 today, but feel like I should do some more. I like the feeling in my calf muscles when I do it. Lol.
Verdict:I'll do some more. I have a birthday party tomorrrow, I'm going to Lake County the day after that, and I'm going to Reno the day after that, so I'm pretty stretched for time. If I want to help us get to 50,000 steps, I have to put in a major effort! My goal is to do another 1500 today and 800-1000 tomorrow(I don't have time to do more with the party. We can do this people! Good Luck!0 -
I decided to just go use the stairmaster at the gym and to take the routes through campus that have stairs.
Tuesday: 400
Wednesday: 500
Thursday: 320
Friday: 1360!!!!!!!!!!
Total so far: 2580
I will do a bunch again tomorrow, but Sunday will be pretty much stair-less since I'll be spending 12 hours in the car! Anyone have any road trip exercise tips? I'll be driving 12 hrs/day for 2 days! Yuck!0 -

Woo-hooo - take that Zombies!0 -
I did 425 steps today. Unfortunately the (mean) people that live 3 stories up were moving today and the stairwell was occupied mostly all day.
I am having a big disconnect between how many calories I am burning v what I think I have done. I don't feel like I burned as many calories as MFP says I did today. and yesterday. I hope the scale moves soon.:ohwell:0 -
1800/1900 total
Just add 100 for friday...the down stairs r killing my calf muscles...I can do the upstairs just find. I tried to do my 30day shred and I couldn't do part of it cuz of my calves.. hopefully better tomorrow. A friend of mine is on team melee and she's talking about how she did 2400stairs in 30minutes and now she's gunna do steps while she watches a movie for an hour and a half..... my first day I did 1200 and couldn't move next day, now sure how ppl r crankin out multiple thousands a day. Although last week I considered myself disabled due to my hip, so these stairs r more difficult for me than a regular person I suppose.
Im about to go up some stairs to get in my house, maybe ill end up doin sum more, if I can even walk to the house...im sitting in the car... lol. Legs hurt to bad to get out.0 -
Ok! 2000! Lol. Instead of running up stairs and back down, I just did one step over and over again and that helped my calves alot...but too slow and boring to continue on with that...just gunna wait till im better and do a **** ton in one day0

I just want to say that I am so, so, so proud of all of Team Explosives. We are seriously kicking this challenge's butt! I don't think we've even needed to use any explosives against the zombies, we're just too fast for them!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what our final number is!0

Heya all so I did a bit of an experiment today. As it has been raining here I have been having to use a make shift step. It was taking me 9 mins to do 300. Well finally had a fine day and I have 3 steps out my back door. Tried on those and completed 300 in 5 mins. So that kind-of sucks for me, as the inside step I am having to step up with both legs then back down with both legs for it to be counted as 1 grrrr. So moral of the story inside step takes a lot longer and is way more effort, so if you all can find a flight of stairs that is the way to go. *vent over* 0

Great job everyone! Not only are we well over our original goal, we are inching closer and closer to our second.
I'm lathering on the muscle cream because (even though I said I was going to do a day off) you guys inspire me, I have to do steps today
...but much later today....
EDIT:
I'm seeing that a lot of people's legs are hurt, specifically your calves?
Please, if you have $4-$5 go to Walgreens, CVS, or any basic drugstore and get some generic icy-hot.
I got mine from CVS (it was the cheapest one of the shelf) its called "Vanishing Scent Muscle Rub" Please get yourself some sort of muscle cream, we need each other to be at the top of their games. Plus, I don't want y'all to be in pain

Athena, are we reporting weights and final stair numbers to you, then you'll report the entire teams to ACowboyKid? Just want to check now before I leave in the morning, I'm not sure how often I'll be checking MFP on the drive. I will post my stairs and weight later tonight (I won't have access to a scale after today).
I've done way more today than I have the rest of the week, so hopefully that will help us reach our second goal AND make up for my lack of stairs tomorrow. If I do run into any stairs at rest stops I'll definitely run up them and post again late tomorrow night!0 -
Better safe than sorry: post to both of us. She asked me to send over my spread sheet on Sunday night, so hopefully I'll have everyone's totals for each day.0

So I did the first 200 steps of the day on a milk crate until my hubby pointed out that is 'one hell of a big step.' lol He is right it measured 11 inches!!!!! SO, I put the kids to bed and I am using their 6" potty step now.
WOOT!
