@debussy it's for a step test so it wouldn't work this time but that hill is awesome I do it alot

@panaggio20 you can see the back of the hill along Mannheim, like a half mile north of the Rosemont Target.

If you like hills you will enjoy this park we went this week in Buffalo Grove. It's called willow stream

Answer 3

Would one of the parking garages work?  

Answer 4

You can park in the basement of the library garage and walk up 4 flights.

@agitprop91 awesome idea thank you

Answer 5

Unfortunately I found hospitals to be the best bet around here. I used to go to Lutheran General to climb stairs but I’m sure they won’t let you do that right now (and I wouldn’t want to).  

Answer 6

Maine West bleachers- going up and down a few times?  

Answer 7

I know there are plenty of stairs in the garage within the Rosemont entertainment district’s parking garage. Not sure if anything there is open now though

Answer 8

I would love to do that, but I don't think I have the energy after being in this lockdown without any exercise.

@voltage79100 you can do anything you put your mind to. Go slow and just get back out there. It will happen in due time. I did 6 minutes today with a 75lbs vest on 180 steps going up and 180 going down. Surprising going down was harder and I touch the railing which is a fail for the fire test. But I'll get there. Luckly I'm not taking the test I'm just supposing my hubby.

@voltage79100 just get out and take a walk as the weather gets nicer it will get easier - good luck you totally got this.

@doradorado9347 , yes I've been meaning to do that but keep putting it off. Thanks!
