The office building I work in has about 16 floor. Not enough to count as a skyscraper, but certainly enough to be the tallest building in the area. One cool thing is that it has high-speed elevators that rush you to your floor very quickly. If you take the elevator.
Since Wednesday of last week, I've taken the stairs up to the thirteenth floor where I work. It takes me about 4 1/2 minutes to make the trip and I'm always breathing heavily by the time I arrive, but I'm not sweating; it's an easy way to get some extra physical activity in my day.
While I was unemployed, I ate pretty poorly and I stopped exercising for a couple of weeks. My pants don't fit quite as well as they did before I lost my job, but I'm not being caused physical pain by them (which did happen at one point, many years ago). With the new job came a new desire to be healthy.
In addition to eating better, running a few evenings a week, and doing calisthenics in the morning, I've been walking up the stairs every morning. It's a simple thing that helps me feel better. Hopefully, I'll be back to my pre-unemployment level of fitness very soon.
