Way better then the crap I was eating, haha. Sammi- Thanks, it is exciting, took me long enough to get motivated though. I've been at it for 2 months, but i just started the stairs a couple days ago. Starting out small and increasing the reps as you feel the need to be more challenged is the best way to go. This prevents you from burning yourself out and making it hard to be motivated. Goodluck tm with the stairs:)! Yavor- Yeah, and changing to a healthier diet has introduced me too some amazing food that I would have never tried. Way better then the crap I was eating, haha.

That's very exciting! How long did it take before you saw those results? Yavor- I started walking the stairs this Monday. After going up once, I felt a bit winded, but not too challenged, so I went up and down again. A total of 242 steps! I figured I'd do it twice for 6 days, then increase the reps by 1 each week, or as I was able. I did it again yesterday . By evening my calves were so tight and painful!! =•D Any time I sat still for a few minutes, my muscles would stiffen up so badly. Painful to walk, everything. But I'm fine. I'll keep going. I'm skipping today. But will be back at it tomorrow. And definitely will be going up and down only once!! Grant- Congratulations on your big success! That’s very exciting!

Also - I'm sure you've noticed how much of a difference food makes. A simple thing like eating a very light dinner can add up to thousands of calories less per week... Keep kicking ass!

Here's what to do: start climbing the 7 floors once every day, six days per week. Don't count or track time, just climb once. The second week, try to climb twice. If its super hard, postpone it until the third week, etc. Once you can climb comfortably 2-3 times (which is quite a workout in itself), you may start running. Hope that helps, Yavor Sammi, sounds like your building is perfect. Here’s what to do:

I've been eyeing these posts for some time... I haven't had issues with needing to lose weight, and I haven't really exercised for most of my life. Needless to say, I'm out of shape. I think I want to start by walking up and down stairs. There's a building with 7 floors, 17 steps each floor... Can you recommend a good length of time for me to walk up and down, as a beginner? Should I track time in minutes, or should I count how many times I go up and down? Thanks so much for all your help, the posts here are very motivating! Thanks for the great advice on running stairs.
