STAIRWAY THROUGH HELL

The gym can get boring after a while.

Yesterday, I decided to go with something one of my neighbours (a fit 50+ old man) shared last week. He takes the stairs up (all 18 flights of them!) up my condo twice a week. And so, I slapped on my tights and walking shoes, took the lift down to the basement, and legged up all the way to the 17th floor before I almost died of exhaustion.

Anyone can tell me if this is good exercise? I'm planning to do this once a day instead of the treadmill and then see if I can manage twice a day. The 10 mins up made me sweat more than my 30 mins on the mill!

And that old man goes six times, twice a week!
