Let's say you're on ground level, and need to fetch something from the fourth floor. The walk upstairs, even if you're young and healthy, will increase your heart rate and, esp. depending on temperature and what you're wearing, can get you sweating a little bit. Who needs it in their daily lives.
- Razengan 8y agoTrue, but maybe that would encourage us to really think about what we place on each floor, to partition them for different workflows/mindsets/moods without overlap, which could lead to better focus, better work and better play.
- saiya-jin 8y agoyeah doing some physical activity, that sounds horribly wrong and so underclass... it it a proper concern for elderly/disabled, but for young what you describe sounds more like an advantage
- badpun 8y agoWhy not wear backpack full of rocks the whole time then, it's an extra activity, makes you stronger etc. I think the reason why people don't do that, is that, while often the extra activity/burden is really beneficial, the fact that you can't turn it off can really be a problem sometimes. Say - you have a bad flu and can barely walk around the house, or are in a hurry to get out of the door, but need to run to the fourth floor to fetch someting (it takes a while - I know, I live on a fourth floor in a building with no elevator). The non-optionality is the problem.
- saiya-jin 8y agoFunny you mention rocks in the backpack, that sort of resembles my training when I go for some higher mountains (walking up stairs with heavy backpack). I guess everybody has different perspective on life and priorities
- badpun 8y agoThat's training, the rocks in backpack make sense then (I too sometimes load my backpack with heavy books when I go for a long walk). It's very different from it having strapped to your body forever.
