Today's challenge is: Stair Stepping

Let's see if we can do 15 minutes.

If for some reason you can't do Stair Stepping then do something that is close to it like knee lifts or something of that nature,
Just make sure it's something similar to what the rest of us are doing.
The important thing is that you try to do it.
Make sure you stretch and have fun doing them.
Report back when you are done and let us know how you did

    I don't have any stairs so I just did 15 minutes on my jogger trampoline. I did about half the time doing knee lifts and the rest dancing like a loon to some good tracks on my mp3 :)


    My Daughter was very amused but has begged me never to repeat this if she has friends around.......lol

    All done. This was a breeze compared to my other push-up challenge yesterday. I know that my arms will feel it tomorrow or Sunday.

    can I join this?
    I'm in a irritated, frustrated, pissy mood today. I need something to get me out of my funk this morning.
    I'll be back when I have the challenge done. I have a mini stepper so I'll be using that

    edit: Done! I actually feel much better. My heart rate went up a little and got some juice in my leg muscles.

    How did it go for you? I did it right before my yoga class and burned 116 calories in 15 min so that was nice. But that thing moves too darn slow for me. I couldn't figure out if there was a way to speed it up.

    alright since i'm nursing a sprained ankle I did leg lifts so as to work the thighs and hamstrings as stairs do without causing more ankle issues. I got 15 min in

    FAIL!!! Sorry Charger had so much paper work and finding some legal documents for my hubby that we haven't seen since 2 moves ago... I meant well, but honestly couldn't find the time. I'm now packing the family up to leave for camping around 6AM, so it doesn't look like I'll get to it tonight either, unless you count running up and down our 3 porch steps for the next 2 hours to pack stuff in the truck! But I at least wanted to check in, and apologize for not doing to challenge. :(

    Sounds like you got some of the challenge done by default. See how these can fit into daily activities? :wink:
