Improve your Health with the Piano Stairs

October 8, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | View Comments

I’ve started taking stairs about a year ago, mainly because I wanted to lose a little weight (hey, every bit counts!), but most people I see going to work each morning use escalators. Motivating yourself to start improving your health, even in little ways, can be difficult. But a bunch of guys in Odenplan, Stockholm created a new way to make it easy to do just that: a set of common stairs that they transformed into piano keys. The result? 66% more people than normal chose the stairs over the escalator. This is caused by what they call “the fun theory“. Check it out:
