Description:

In this swap you will be challenged to walk up a flight of stairs at least 1000 times in the month of May.

The goal is to get those legs and behinds in shape for summer and get to where we are going in the process.

If there are 31 days in May, and we want to walk up 1000 flights of stairs, then we need to average 32.25 flights of stairs per day. That's not so hard, right?

Each person will have two partners for support and encouragement. At the end of May you are to send each of your partners at least one creative picture of you owning those staircases and tell them if you met the 1000 flight goal or not. For extra fun, you can also send a list of any unique stairs you walked on.

1,000 times, really?! I don't think you could do that unless you live in an upper floor apartment or work in an upper floor office/building or something. Maybe not even then, really...

@leashingfear You can always walk the same flight of stairs up and down for 32 and a bit times a day. ;DD I perhaps don't particularly need swap partners to encourage me, but if you let met, I'll definitely TRY to use this great idea of yours. So far sounds like the most fun exercise I've ever heard of!

This is a great idea. There aren't too many stairs in my area, but there are some good ones at the church. I am going to do this.

Well, I was thinking practically. I mean, yeah, I could walk up & down the stairs in my house for an hour, but I'd much rather go out & get some fresh air on my bike & take in the scenery and whatnot at the same time. Biking for me is not only exercise, but very therapeutic, kinda like yoga is for others. I could never get into yoga. :P

So yeah, I was just thinking "how could you possibly climb that many stairs, unless you own some kind of stairmaster type thing?" I almost always take the stairs instead of elevators in public buildings, but that doesn't amount to much. :)

Any number of stairs to make a flight of stairs?

@lob lets say that 5 stairs count as a flight.

And no stair-stepper machines. The point of this is to get out and walk stairs that you usually wouldn't walk. Go places that you might not normally go. Maybe do some exploring along the way to get your stair count in. Think about places in your city/town with neat staircases to get your picture on.
