JerriAnn, I am trying to understand what you are calling "steps" on the Fitbit rather than flights of stairs. If I walk, and count to 100 steps, it registers as 100 steps on my Fitbit. I think for stairs, you have to go up an elavation of 10 steps for it to register a flight of stairs. I think the 32 steps you walked up would still only register as 1 flight of stairs. I think if you lived in a split level home that has 3 or 4 steps between levels, these would not count as a flight of stairs. For me, since I have trouble walking up a flight of stairs, many times it doesn't register them, even though it is a full set of stairs from the basement to the living quarters of my house. If I go up and down 5 times a day, it might only show up as 2 or 3. Or sometimes none. I go slowly, and just one step at a time. If I try to go fast, that's when it does register. But it's a flight of stairs, whether I go fast or slow. Sometimes, when I am walking very fast around Walmart, it will say that I did 3 flights of stairs, even though there are no stairs in Walmart.
You are very fortunate that you could easily do those stairs at 65 years of age, but I think you are wrong not to feel sorry for those who have a problem with it. We are all different. Some of them could be in poor medical condition and could very well have a heart attack doing those stairs. It's ok to be thankful that you can do it easily, but don't scorn those who can't. I have that opinion because I am one of those who couldn't do it.
