How should I do stair exercises?

SpiritOfThings Posts: 58 Joined: 2007/01/18	2007/07/19, 10:22 PM Well, I had a rowing machine that I liked, but it was old, and one morning I ripped the handlebars right off. Now all I have is a staircase. My main goal is to lose fat, so should I jog the stairs or will walking do? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Some ideas, anyway. t -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* \"He may be gone, but Sanjaya proved that it doesn\'t matter how talented you are - if you believe in yourself, you can annoy literally millions of people.\" Jimmy Kimmel
