Straw poll

Here’s a question that I’ve been meaning to ask my readers:

How many flights of stairs is too many stairs?

In my last building I lived on the fourth floor¹ and I always tried to take the stairs as much as possible but would go up in the lift if I had heavy bags or I was sufficiently tired and/or drunk.

Now I live on the third floor I am much more inclined to climb them even if I’m tired.

I think five, or maybe six, would be the limit at which point the lift would win except when I’m feeling extra-healthy.

Let’s take a quick straw poll. Are any of my readers conscious of their stair-climbing limits? Please share them in the comments!²
