A reward and punishment scheme to
encourage fitness in office workers, that
uses a swipe card system.
Swipe your card to access the stairs and
gain points, which are accumulated when
you swipe again at the floor of destination.
Swipe your card to use the lift, and loose
points if you
go less than five floors. Less
able are exempt. Donate rewards gained
to a charity.

not sure of that kind of detail, but the
advantages of a fitter staff would soon
pay dividends for any company so
money could be offered - and thanks
for croissant 21 Quest. |

I surely like it very much. I'd quite like it if the rewards were of the kind which meant when you wanted a lift, it arrived very quickly. |
|
| |
What prevents someone from tailgating their way on to the lift without swiping the card? |
|
| |
a huge bank of rotating knives |

This idea would cause deaths in hospitals, elevators/lifts are not just for lazy people. |

//This idea would cause deaths in
hospitals// duhh that's why it says
"office workers" and the "less able are
exempt" - I give up - think I need a
bakery holiday. |
|

You would have to be grossly unfit in the first place to receive any tangible benefit from using stairs instead of lifts. Unless you're going up and down all day - but in that case I would suggest that your office is on the wrong floor. |
|
| |
Time is money. Hence the lift. |
|
| |
//This idea would cause deaths in hospitals// do you mean to tell me there are no office workers in hospitals? Take your holiday, just not the lift. |
|

Perhaps the negative consequesnces are just that it takes longer to get the positive ones. If I never take the stairs it will take me a lot longer to get my overall score turned around. If I always take the stairs, it means that the few times I do take the elevator, it is a loss that is easily compensated for. |
|
| |
The penalty for being caught doing this
is being drowned a tank of frogspawn in
a public place. It's just not worth the
risk. |
|
| |
There's a more severe
punishment for that again. It can't even
be
written down, it's so horrible, but I can
tell you that it involves lots of elastic
bands and bags of soot. |

This is an excellent idea, and I plan to incorporate it into my suggestion for revisions to national health care policy (keep watching the HB main page). |
|
| |
To overcome the whole swipe card issue, use RFID tags. The tag doesn't need to be actively swiped, and visitors simply don't register with the system at all.
Good idea - bun from me. |

in order to use the lift you have to demonstrate a bodyfat percentage of <x. |
