Yes... You've heard it before. That you should take the stairs instead of the elevator because, blah blah... We all know why.So why don't you?...I'll ask again. Why don't you?When I moved into my new apartment one year ago I found myself living on the 6th floor for the first time in my life. I had always lived "at the bottom" of any type of building.In the beginning I took the elevator every day... I didn't really think of it, or question it.One day this question popped up in my head out of the blue: "So why don't I take the stairs instead?"For some reason it got stuck in my head. The only answer I could come up with was "because everyone else is taking the elevator".
And just like that I decided to never take the elevator again.And I haven't. For almost a year now.I calculate that I take the stairs approximately six times a day, and I can litterally feel it in my legs - the exercise I get. The FREE exercise I get. Not to mention the small boosts my energy level gets aswell!I must admit that the first few weeks was a bit exhausting, but I got used to it, and now I wish I lived on the 10th floor!
