How many stairs you can climb

Wow that is a lot of stairs especially if you have kids, or groceries to carry! That is a good work out though.

Some people would find so many stairs very taxing. It's good that you do some of the stairs. It will keep you much fitter and you won't be at such a disadvantage when the elevators are not working.

To climb eleven floors is a difficult task, specially in one go. If you could do it, you are brave and you have lots of stamina. My office is on the fifth floor. I usually climb down the stairs. Sometimes I take lift to reach at fifth floor, otherwise I climb up the stairs. It is said that climbing stairs is one of the best exercises. I think when you look down below from your floor, the scene looks like as seen in the picture. Picture by me.

Using the stairs rather than the lift is a very good exercise. Maximum i have tried is climbing 9 floors. It is very tiring though

@Bodyandbrain once we get accustomed to elevators, it is hard to climb stairs, at least for me. Lately, I did not check, too - how much I can climb. But, once in a while, it'll be a great excercise.

I would prefer the elevator over stairs any day to be honest, but there are times when taking the stairs are a much more practical way of getting to another floor, like when you don't want to wait too long for the elevator to come.

I am sure I could climb alot of stairs..will I do so happily? No..I hate climbing stairs. As part of my work I sometimes need to climb stairs..and 4 flights of stairs is quite a bit. I prefer ground level.

That's a good exercise. But it is also tiring. I can't climb too much flight of stairs.

Oh that a huge task to climb all the 12 th floor. Go down is easy. I can climb more steps but definitely need breaks while climbing.

Wow! I know I couldn't climb all those stairs without resting. My legs get shakey.

This is like blessing in disguise for people who are trying to burn some calories naturally. If we are in practice, we climb the stairs, otherwise each floor after 3rd floor might get stressful.

I can climb many if no option . I just went on a trip and climbed thousands of them (in parts)

I can climb stairs but i don't know if I like to. I have never given it thought. I just do it...unless my knee gives me trouble.

Well I usually like to use stairs instead of elevators.

ahhh i am very lazy and climb stairs is too tiring for me. climbing one or two floors is too much for me. so i prefer elevator.

I have trouble with stairs now but used to do pretty good when I was younger and healthier.

i too love using the stairs. but it is about 3 floors

well to tell you the truth I avoid climbing stairs...........though it is good for health.........my previous residence's building was ten storied. once I decided as part of exercise to go to the top floor. Though I make it. but it also made me to decide that I would not do it again untill i reduce my weight.

What oh my God you are seriously great I can hardly go Upto 5th floor

yes..I like to climb stairs... Because its a very good exercise.
