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

    Cool! Count me in! I've been trying to change things up so that my body doesn't get used to the same exercises. I read that doing the same workout routine becomes ineffective after about three weeks because our bodies become efficient at that routine and burns fewer calories. Thanks!

    I'm in! Climbing to my 16th floor office should qualify. If that's not long enough, I'll have to go to 21 and back down!

    Used the stair stepper at the gym before my yoga class. That one almost did me in but I made it through. I need to learn how that machine works to make it a little easier.

    Finished. This was a most interesting challenge. The first few minutes were a piece of cake. Run, run, turn around run, run, turn. The last five minutes were torturous. Walk, plod, hang on the rail, turn, run (a bit), turn.
    The most interesting part was when I was done and tried to walk. My legs were so wobbly that I had to grab a chair.

    Oh, well. Again, I finished.
