Mon, May 12 2008 - Stair climb in the river valley (View Original Event Details)
|
The stairs quickly showed most of us that we are out of shape and need to climb stairs more often. The dirt parking lot proved to be much more busy than I expected, but most seemed to find the group easily. We then hit the stairs each at our own pace and duration. Some did 10 or more laps, but most were done after 6-7. For those calorie counters out there: By running a few quick numbers I get that each lap on the stairs burn .08 calories for each kg of body mass. Thus for me (about 90 kg) I burnt about 7.2 calories per lap. (It sure felt like more though) I think the event went well and will have to do these more often to get into shape.
