Alternative to normal gym session

[blunomore]

Some days I do not have time to go to the gym, do a 45 minute session, etc.

So my alternative excercise is climbing the steps in my 6 storey apartment building. I did 640 steps this morning! Holy Mother of Jane Fonda I sweated more than I do during my normal gym cardio session!!!

Do you ever do steps? I know it's a good cardio workout, but does it have more benefits?

You ever tried it?

Nah don't like steps.
Try this if you rather want to work out at home.

You have to maintain 10 000 steps a day. (walking) (doctors orders)
Now i worked out what i do in 10 min. 1200 steps.
That means i have to keep my pace for 84 minutes.
Fark me i'm going to be fat foreva!!!

I do think steps you climb should count for more but freak...

S*x. Lots of it.

I do step training, but its usually a fairly quick jog up the flight, then a walk down. Squat jumping up stairs is also fairly intensive, but it does pound my knees a bit.. sadly i have no stairs where i stay, so its usually off to athletics stadiums etc for this.

My motivation for gym is traffic avoidance. Works well.

I never do steps! It's just to little effort in that... Squatting 160kg is much better and I always make space for gym, the whole two hours of it!

Hmm, but this is different - it's not walking on a straight surface; it is climbing, so the resistance is more.

Also, your body fights against the gravity of climbing 'uphill' all the time. Oh and also, every alternate flight of stairs, I climb two steps at a time

Sexercise is exercise and as per the thread title, an alternative. There are numerous positions for different muscle groups...

Sex on a tiled floor in general is fscking painful. In a good way of course...
