Do u use stairs in big buildings or u just hop in elevators or take escalators?

My apartment in on the second floor and the only way to reach my place is by the stairs. I am a bit of a hypocrite though. At every other place I go I use the elevator or the escalator. That is true except for the building where my doctors' appointments are and up the 8 flights of steps to the fitness center. I guess I'm hoping that there is profit in each and every effort.

I use elevators more often than not. Specially in the office because I work at the 12th floor and in our apartment cause I live on the 20th. Though when going to and from floors that are only 1 or 2 floors away, I try to use the stairs, cause it not only lessen the electricity consumption of your building, but it is also healthy for you.

I am not able to do stairs that well anymore due to my Illness so now it is the Elevator if I go anywhere with a lot of Stairs But before I got bad with this yes I used to do Stairs instead of the Elevators

i hope there are elevators where i go. i would rather take an elevator. the escalators make me dizzy when i go down them. if there aren't too many stairs i also will take the stairs.

My first option in a mall or a building that are not so high up is to use the elevators. That way, I can check out what every level has to offer. But if it's an office building or some sort, definitely using the elevators for sure. The Chief Nurse doing that; awesome..I think that's her take on exercise. Being busy and not being able to do it properly so that method rocks. My dosage of exercise would be the walking to and fro that I am able to do. I think walking briskly is definitely a good form of exercise.

The stairs were one thing I missed when I retired. I would go up and down the stairs on my breaks. Now I live in a one story house on a level street. I'm getting flabby.

hi friend, Yes i go on both prefer escalator and elevalator. It depends on building if building is 3 floors so i go by walk. If building is 10 floors so i go in a escalator to up and down. have a good day.

Our office is in the 10th floor and how I would love to climb up and down the stairs early in the morning only if our building has one. Unfortunately, we have a lot of elevators, even escalators, and the only stairs are in the fire exit which we aren't allowed to use unless the elevators are not working. Too bad! I could have saved myself membership fee in the gym.

Hi moneymakingtoday,Every time i'd visited my doctor in 4 storey hospital,i used to go there by stairs if i have enough time.But there were times that i go on an elevator specially if i'm in hurry.I love going up there using stairs because i can feels that my joints are working.Using stairs are good exercise too.Have a nice day!

It depends on what kind of building is it. If it's a big building and I have to go to the 10th floor I will always use the elevator or escalators. However, if it's a small building, I have no problem to use the stairs. Everydays I climb lots of stairs, and my legs seem to be stronger thanks to that

It depends, but most of the time I used elevators or escalators because it's very comfortable and it makes everything as easy as that. Although, some people say that it's a lazy doing but if you are in a rush then that an excuse for that though as much as possible if you don't have exercise might as well take stairs rather than elevators. Right now, I practice not to used elevators or escalators because I don't have much exercise and its healthy right to take stairs.

I always use the stairs, as i hate escalators and elevators. I do not trust them at all.

I am really lazy when it comes to climbing stairs. That is the reason even if I just need to go the 2nd floor from first floor I still take the elevator in our office. I also hate climbing stairs in malls. I prefer to use elevator or escalator. That is also one of the reason I hate having a two storey house. I prefer a bungalow or a split- level. I really hate climbing stairs.

i aleays use elevators....its the best way and also fastest.when you are in a hurry ypo have no time to walk up the stairs or to use the escalotrs..also walking makes you feel worn out and tired and so its better to use the elevatirs...you just go in press the button and up you go..

I always use the elevators and escalators. Some how I just don't feel safe in stairwells of tall buildings.

i would hope to use escalators in malls over the stairs.it seems convinient and quickly up what i want the building floor.although using stairs is good as same as the escalators.but it make me tired of climbing up and down the buildings.at the same time it is slow to reach what i want to the floor.

Of course i use the Elevators, in my building i live in the 12th floor so i would be too lazy to walk up the stairs, if the lift was down then the stairs it is! In a mall if i felt a little hyped up i would take the stairs, if not then why bother? just take the escalator.

i usually use stairs over elevators. but if there is an escalator then i use it instead of stairs.

Usually When i have to go to a 2nd or 3rd floor i use stairs,If more than that I do prefer escalators..When coming down..I don't care if its 9th floor or 10th floor..I use stairs :)

my views on this matter is that it all depends on the urgency and the importance of the matter. if i am a bit early then i will take the stairs just to kill time but if i am going to be late then the elevator might be quite useful.
