Don’t forget that today is Firestair Friday. Shun the lift and take to the stairs!
Did you know that taking the stairs not only gives your legs a workout, but your butt, stomach and heart as well? If you move your arms around, you can make it a full body workout.
Just remember that if you have any orthopedic or heart problems to consult your doctor before tackling the stairs. I don’t want to be responsible for anyone dropping dead.
Remember to post to either this post or the Firestair Friday post about how many steps you managed to do today.

I started writing a comment, but it got too long… so I’ve blogged about it instead

Party pooper! Just cause you can’t climb the fire stairs
But seriously, you did raise some great concerns about firedoors that are locked so that you can’t enter them from the stairwell.

No stairs but does it count that I helped carry 2 mattresses home?
I lost count of my steps somewhere between my shoulder screaming at me and the blisters busting on my feet.
Yes, I’m a sook LOL.

i’m on it! we have stairs in our home & my very forgetful mind allows me frequent trips up & down…hence butt of steel (almost!)
shunning an elevator? no problem here…i am quite afraid of the little buggers & will do that on any given day

Jayne – I am impressed that you managed to carry two mattresses. That is an amazing effort, cause those things are so unwieldy and heavy. I really hope that you didn’t have far to walk.
Bello – A great effort!
