I have a three story place with a lot of stairs. I should be getting younger.
To: SisterK
Those are good activities as well.
Sitting is the worst thing, if you can avoid it.

I’m with you. A one level ranch style home is just fine with me. No stairs.

I'm also dealing with Long Covid, so the bad ankles and knees on top of that, getting around is difficult.
Granted I am trying to get out and walk more but "post exertion malaise" as they call it, or in simpler terms, extreme exhaustion after physical activity, is a constant battle for me.

I do that. Friends wonder how I can do that and I always tell them, “I can do it because I do it”.
And you can too.

If you can’t already walk 50 steps a day on flat land, I’d say you have severe issues with any movement.

I don’t have any stairs to climb. I do climb 80 flights twice a week on a stair master. Very boring.
Most days I hike a 3.5 mile trail with 30# pack on my way home from work.
On Sunday, I mountain bike with guys half my age.
I turned 65 in August. Still love climbing ice, and spring alpine climbs in Colorado.
Retiring at the end of Dec., heading to CO for 2 months of ice.
I ask my Doc. If he thought I might have any blockage. It takes me longer to acclimate to altitude the last few years.
He said if I did, I would already be dead.
To: ConservativeMind
With the right staircase, you might only have to walk up one flight of stairs per day.
(Then slide down the railing.)

So you are sayin’ it’s CDC approved?

Um, I think that’s what handrails are for. Much safer to hold onto a handrail that try to manage a cane on stairs.

Well, when I walk stairs, I usually have one hand on a handrail and the other on my cane. You young whippersnappers might not be able to relate to that.

Bad advice for old farts. They all have bad knees. Heart will benefit but knee joints will be painful. Just a brisk 25 minute walk 4 times a week works great for me. Zero heart issues at age 83.

If there is a fire you enter the stairway, go all the way to the bottom and exit the building. You don’t go up and in.
