I'm sure most of you have heard that when you have the choice between taking the stairs or riding the escalator or elevator, you should walk the stairs. Especially if you are trying to lose excess fat. Do you? I'll admit that I don't always choose the stairs, nor do I make that big of a deal out of the extra steps like some do. If someone is training with me, I already know that they are working out and doing their part to burn off the extra stored calories they are unhappy with. But every bit counts, and I make sure they are aware of that. I remember as a kid, my brother and I would get excited if we saw an empty escalator when we were out shopping with my mom. We'd run to the down escalator are race up, or race down the up escalator, until some grown-up entered and the fun ended. At some point in peoples lives, they take things too serious, at not only the expense of having fun, but staying fit. The video below was sent to me by one of my cousins. It proves that when fun is added, people will do things they normally wouldn't do, such as choosing stairs over the escalator. Thanks go to my cousin Barbara for sharing this video.

Glad you enjoyed it.
I know that not only would I have taken the stairs, I'd have probably taken way more steps than normal, too.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
It's amazing, at the beginning of the clip people avoided the stairs like they had an "out of order" sign on them.
Thanks for the comment and the compliment.
I've always wanted to try that empty escalator thing, but never got a chance to, lol.
Awesome video, btw. It's absolutely incredible to see how effective this is.
