I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "is it a good idea to?"
When we suggest friends what to do, we use "should" as in "Shall we dance?"
So, I'd like to know why here "should" is used, not "shall."

"shall" is uber-formal.
Nowadays, it is used mostly in legal documents.

I know you sprained your ankle this morning on your 5-mile run.
