Thanks Debrac do you know if going up and then back down the stairs counts as 2 flights or just one?
Reckon I'll be saving for new stair carpet after this challenge lol

I think it's just climbing up that counts, (but please someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Good luck with it :j

Hi Donna,

Welcome to the thread.

Yes as it's a climb up Everest only the climb up the stairs count.

If it's easier for you to log the stair climbs daily that's fine - post them daily or whenever suits you and I'll log them for you - just make sure you don't double post any day, otherwise post the weekly total before Wednesday evening.

ok thanks for clearing that up Debrac are you doing the Everest challenge ?

Just done the maths and realised how many times I'm going to have to climb the stairs each day :eek: Any top tips anyone? Fredsnail? So far Ive been doing the odd 3/5 minutes of continuous climbing when I get chance, plus i'm splitting jobs up - so instead of taking a pile of stuff up the stairs in one go, I'm going up and down with just 1 or 2 things each time, and also going up and down while i'm waiting for eg the kettle to boil. Any other ideas gratefully received please

Great loss Tupperware Queevn :j

Well done TQ, that's a fab loss! :j

Donna, I think you've got some good ideas already so not sure if I can add much, lol. I always used to stop fast forwarding adverts when watching TV and see how many flights I could get through in the breaks, and whenever I'd nip upstairs through the day, I'd always do at least 2 or 3 flights rather than just the one.

Well I've decided to go for a different approach with Everest this time. I've decided to try and do the entire climb on the free step programme on the wii fit! :eek: I need to try and get myself back into it as it's really easy exercise, and I can catch up on my soaps while I do it! Not worked it out yet so it may be a bit far fetched, lol, but I've got this which will help!
I still need to measure it properly, but it adds about 3" to the height which will help a lot in this challenge! Definitely going to start tonight. It was supposed to be last night but by the time I sat down it was nearly 11pm!

Ad breaks are a good idea - Thanks Lolly101 good luck with the challenge!
Did you manage to complete it last time? I think I might be being a bit ambitious but I guess even if I don't get to the top lol it's all still extra exercise - talking of which , going to hang out some more washing then do few more flights before I'm onto next thing on my to-do list
