i always take the stairs even when there's an elevator around, but going beyond 3 floors is definitely unhealthful, even for those without a heart problem. one time, i decided to take the stairs up to the 5th floor. i felt i lost all the oxygen i had, and felt so dizzy by the time i got there. one-two floors may still be good exercise, but beyond that? no way! take the elevator, please.

I take the elavators mostly while going up and stairs while going down. As I live in a duplex and my room and the computer is in the second level, I get my share of exercise by climbing the stairs at least 10 times a day.

If I didn't always have a stroller with me I would take the stairs its good exercise but I always have my kids and they are in the stroller so stairs would be tough...lol.

i think your kids are enjoying the ride, though, huh? they'll be growing up soon, anyway, and when they do, i'm sure they'll enjoy taking the stairs with you! good luck!

I absolutely love elevators...I would wait on an elevator for 5 minutes rather than take the stairs and it's not because I'm lazy...lol

I always use the stairs, unless I have to do more than 7-8 floors and I am in a hurry
