I don’t engage in exercise intentionally but I still work (9-5 most days) so I keep moving, which I think is critical. I can still sit/stead of from high chairs (22” +/-) but can’t do stairs or curbs any more.

By grand design I am living in a spot where I have to use a steep ramp with about 12 feet of elevation change. I climb out in the morning and climb back down (not as easy as it sounds) after work. I haven’t made measurements but I’d guess the main part of the ramp is 10:1 or steeper (12:1 is recommended) plus at each end there is a steeper section with about 5’ of travel, one end on a radius. Overall it is a poor design for a ramp, but is great as a daily PT challenge for me.

I really believe this daily challenge has kept me mobile.

God works in mysterious ways!

I’m not sure how I will replace my unintentional exercise when I move.
