Walk up till it hurts then grab the lift, you’ll slowly get a newer high score every few days until.you finally reach the final level No.28. Then you have post game content, can go up past your floor and take the lift down!
I think it’d be an interesting challenge to see how long it takes to build the stamina to do 28 flights comfortable. Start off small and go further little by little. I wouldn’t do it with groceries but at least trying to see how far you can go once a day.
In my old place of work they had a sign that said something like “taking the stairs burns twice as many calories as taking the elevator”. My response was “cool, so I can take the elevator twice and burn as many calories as taking the stairs” 😂
Do it every chance you get. I was in the best shape of my life when I was running stairs. I just started again after about 3 years. I’m legit dying after 3 floors. But it’s a goal lol
I used to work on the 36th floor of a skyscraper. The elevators were always clogged with people traveling between floors for various meetings. If any given meeting was within three floors, it was usually faster to take the stairs up or down.
And at five pm? It could take ten minutes for one of the four elevators to both reach the floor *and* still have room in it.
I started taking the stairs *down*.
I discovered that I could descend at about 15 seconds per floor. Not blazingly fast, but it still got me out the door several minutes ahead of my colleagues who waited for the elevator.
I did try taking the stairs *up* a couple of times as well. That was much slower and mostly for bragging rights.
Start with one story and gradually increase. You’ll have a the best butt in the whole apartment building, unless someone one on the 29th floor does the same thing.
Man lives on the 10th floor of his building. Everyday in the morning he takes the elevator to the first floor and goes to work. At the end of the day, he takes the elevator to the 5th floor and then takes the stairs the rest of the way up. He does this everyday except on days that it’s raining. Why?
>!he’s short, he cant reach the 10th button. On days that its raining he carries an umbrella that can reach the button!<
I have epilepsy… Once when I was 19 I had a grand mal at the top of a flight of stairs… Thirteen concrete steps later… 112 broken bones… In traction for 9 months another 9 of physical therapy… Had to learn to walk again… Stairs are my worst enemy… My nemesis… I always take the elevator

Walk up stair for 2 minutes then take the elevator?
You’ll be fit as a fiddle in no time: 28 floors in just 2 minutes!

28 floors in 2 minutes.
A flight of stairs between floors is typically 21 steps.
So thats (28 x 21) 588 steps, in 2 minutes (or 120 seconds).
This equates to 4.9 steps per second if you want to do all 28 floors as per the sign.
Closest related record I found to this was 120 steps in 30 seconds (4 per second), so enjoy breaking those records!
Burn stairs, take the electricity
Tbh more people should be taking the stairs.
Take the stairs, be the fittest person in your apartment building!

To be honest, unless I was in a hurry or carrying shit I’d take the stairs lol

Fit people are more healthy, so living longer and pollute more.
Just because you live on the 28th floor, doesn’t make this sign wrong
To be fair if you walked 28 flights of stairs up and down at least once a day you’re gonna have some wicked jacked legs ngl
That is true and a good workout

Old riddle I like to tell kids:
Man lives on the 10th floor of his building. Everyday in the morning he takes the elevator to the first floor and goes to work. At the end of the day, he takes the elevator to the 5th floor and then takes the stairs the rest of the way up. He does this everyday except on days that it’s raining. Why?

For all we know that sign could be indicating going backwards downstairs
No pain no gain
Well, you’d burn a lot of calories.
Take steps until your quads start to feel it. Then lift the rest. In a year you will be able to stairs a few flights more!

Walk down the stairs but take the elevator up.
That’s a fatphobic sign.
Yeah I will take the stairs for a few floors, but when you start going over 10 floors, I want a damn elevator lol
Everybody in your apartment building could forego using elevators for the next 100 years and it still wouldn’t offset Taylor Swifts private jet usage
I’m curious how many elevator cycles equals, say, 1 hour of a flying a jet?
Why take the elevator, just jump out the window instead.
