I decided I have recovered enough from my surgery to start a 100 exercise.

I have 12 steps to first floor from kitchen in second floor.

so I am still discovering just how many steps / flights of stairs I can do.

I did 13 minutes no rest . Up and down 33 flights it is not easy. I will cap at 20 minutes which will be close to 600 steps.maybe I get there by end of junethe

Only 31 flights of stairs. I set a timer at 14:14 and I did a more controlled deliberate pace.

SO the time was a bit longer. I shut the ac off at 6am and did the steps at 10am. House is warm and no muscle issues.

I am near limits of what is safe for me. Knees feel just a bit creaky at the 25 flight mark of steps.

I will add time to timer tomorrow. 15:15 wish me luck.

You ever try to do them backwards? It really works some of those not so often used knee muscles. Nice job keeping up the stepping.

I may do that soon. What I have found is the steps are harder to do than the stationary bike.

So I push breathing and cardio more easily. I was doing 23 minutes x 3 on the bike but it is 69-70 minutes a day a lot of time. The stairs are 14 minutes and I do 10 minutes on the bike after supper using exercise bands.

So I am doing 24-30 minutes vs 69-70 minutes and seem to get better results.

I hope to do 20 minutes on the stairs once a day and maybe 15 minutes light duty on the bike

a 35 minute exercise routine with better results than a 70 minute routine would be nice.

In a magical world that follows my will I get down to 177-180 pound of lean body.

My wind improves the wife is inspired and starts doing steps helping her recover from her covid lung damage.

So far all of the bold type above is actually moving into truthful and leaving fantasy.

Oh I dropped my a1c from 6.7/6.8 to 5.8/5.9 weight is 192 vs 213 all since the beginning of this year.

I won't fully credit this thread as the reason why. But this thread is certainly one of the reasons why I am improving.

My wife has also started the steps and her lungs are improving.
