For you guys talking about taking steps two at a time here is some you should try:


Do You Know the History Behind Austin's Mount Bonnell?

There are only 106.

I'm fairly certain I could run up those in just about 30 seconds. I'd be winded as heck by the time I got to the top, but I could do it.

I’m sure you could. People do it often. The thing about those steps is because they are so old they are very irregularly shaped and spaced. Seems to me those 106 turn into at least 212.

I'am almost 61 . " Any truth to the rumor that at 70 most men tend to only look at women from the neck up ? "

LOL, recall one older gent that would comment that thank the powers to be that his eyesight was the last to fail as nothing else worked.
He'd say "While I can't do anything about it it sure is nice to look at them." (women)

I still take them two at a time every day, many times a day, 3,4,5 floors at a time. And, if I'm feeling rambunctious, I take them two at a time on the way down, too.

Where I grew up, we had about 130 steps down an escarpment to a lake, where we kept a rowboat and a swimming area. If you ever wanted to get to the top, you just started taking them two at a time. I left many friends in the dust going up those stairs while carrying two boat oars, a couple fishing poles, a tackle box, a life jacket and a boat anchor! :laughing:

When I lived in Germany I worked on the fourth floor of a building with no elevator. I purposely walked up and down 6 times every day. With watching what I ate I actually lost 25 pounds in about 5 months.

I am 66, retired, and started an apple farm three years ago on the property where I live. It was the best thing I could have done because it keeps me outside for a few hours a day. The biggest difference from when I was younger is I take my time now. I use a UTV to get things around the farm. I get the saws fueled and sharpened before leaving the barn, as well as having all the other tools needed. I take another trip to get my ladder out to the tree rows, set it up, don’t over-reach, keep moving the ladder along. I think the fresh air is good but I can’t say I really work hard, its more or less at my pace.

That sounds like a real nice way to spend the days! :thumbsup:

Pee only twice a day.

You must not drink a lot of beer.

Actually if I drink tea or coffee I pee a lot more than if I drink beer or bourbon. If I drink a couple of bourbons before bed I don't need to get up in the night but if I have a cup of tea it's a sure thing I'll need to get up.

I could always hold beer longer than coffee or tea.
