Yesterday (after 2 years and some trips on and off).
When I had my first child, we used to stoy on the 4th floor and the lift never worked. We always used the stairs (plus shopping bags and baby)...good exercise.
When he was 3, we moved to another place on the 6th floor. Since we were the first ones to move in, the lift wasn't always in working condition and we used the stairs regularly. In fact, my son still uses the stairs when there is no adult with him to use the lift.
Now, I use climbing the stairs as a form of exercise and climb up and down when I feel like it...and if I need to go just 2 floors up or down, I usually take the stairs.

I everyday use staircase in my house, because I stay at first floor. However, my office is on fifth floor, so sometime I take elevator and while climbing down I use stairs in office.
Good Post!

I don't like elevators or lifts as us Brits call them! And wherever possible I will always use the stairs, it really annoys me when people use the lifts for one floor and I tut at them when I use the elevator and need it for four or more floors up. When I was on holiday in Rhodes my room was on the third floor and I always walked up and down, yet I saw people get in at the first floor to go down, talk about laziness in the first degree. I would hate to live in a high rise tower block, fifteen feet or high above groundlevel!

That would be after lunch, a few hours ago since my office is on the second floor and there is no elevator going to the second floor. in fact, there is no elevator here. LOL! Therefore, since I did not have any other choice, I have to use the stairs. Anyway, I climb the stairs everyday in my house.

i always use the staircase even while climbing 6 floors which i do it evryday. As i donot get time to exercise so i use the staircase as i feel that this is one form of exercise as climbing staircase for 20 mins looses 360 cals as per my gym instructor.
I feel that elevators as well as escalators are a form of wastage of energy as they should be used only when the malls are crowded.

I took my daughter to the doctor a few days ago and we climbed 3 flights of staris instead of taking the elevator she is only 4 so her legs were really getting tired by the time we got to the top.

I use the staircase every day, all day long. There is no elevator. I prefer the staircase anyway, because it is very good on the cardiovascular system. Sometimes it can be a little frightening for me though, as I am accident prone. A year ago, I broke my right leg on the stairs.

I always try to use the stairs instead of the elevator, it's a habit I developed ever since I was a teenager (a teenager totally obsessed with losing weight, I hasten to add!), as I thought this would be a good way of introducing a little more exercise into my life, without, well, exercising, lolz.

Hi & Hello my friend, Balasri.
In my working day I always use stair case from Level 9 to Level 6. So for every week my last day is every Friday is the last day and time for me to use staircase. It happened that way because normally it is a time waiting for me to wait for elevator, in getting my turn. So a practical exercise for me to have staircase from Level 9 to Level 6 and vice versa.
Happy Postings and Earnings.
HAPPY DAPPY.
