Taking the stairs can be painful, literally. We’re also pros at coming up with excuses to avoid this pain. We listed our top favorites.

• I live on the 11th floor! How am I supposed to climb that?!

• I didn’t eat much today, so my body doesn’t need to burn anything. I’ll take the elevator.

• It’s too late at night to take the stairs.

• I just drank so much water, I shouldn’t be climbing the stairs.

• I walked 2km today, why should I take the stairs?

But they say no pain, no gain. Unfortunately this is true, and climbing stairs can do us a lot of good. Did you know? Climbing stairs is twice as more effective as walking? What we’re saying is, ditch those excuses and take the stairs!
