Excellent goal. I don't know your fitness level but the good thing is if it's too much you can exit at any level and use the elevator for the rest of it.

Right now I can get from the 8th floor to my floor and only be slightly out of breath and feel a little burn briefly in my legs. My coworker and I have a mini goal of being able to get from floor 6 to our floor by the end of the month without being completely out of breath. BABY STEPS!
Accountability is key…and I think that's a big part of this FS community being successful.

Aggie it is a lot tougher if you are doing those stairs in heels

Hey, I keep a pair of walking shoes/socks at my desk. Sneak in a little more fitness any way you can, whenever and wherever....

I've thought about bringing a change of clothes to work so I can do some fitness on my lunch. Or at least get some stretching and a few yoga moves in, twahl. Aren't stairs the worst, serna? It's so hard lugging my big body up them but as the weight comes off and my strength increases I think it will get easier. :-) Tamarah, oh man…I haven't counted how many there are…I'm too busy coaching myself in my head and remembering to breath. LOL.
