That sounds like a great idea, Charmion. My house is a ranch, so the stair climbing would be much more limited. I did buy a seated "Elliptical" a few months ago, and it is helpful. It's nothing like the eliptical. It's more like having a seated treadmill. :-) It's more for stretching the lower body, from hips to knees, thighs, calves and ankles.. We live in a good neighborhood for walking... very lovely and safe. Women go walking at night in my neighborhood without fear..

I've spent the morning working on the lawn, weed whacking and cleaning half of the driveway. I'm taking Donna out for lunch, and I will resume after we get back (with generous breaks.)
