I’ve had this Versaclimber in my office for years, and would use it occasionally at hi-reps for a minute — and be be on the threshold of the anaerobic zone — desirable for fitness — but not much fun.
WELL: this dark winter afternoon, after a day of nit-picking paperwork, everyone left and I put on Hound Dog by Big Mama Thornton, guitar Buddy Guy, and stepped onto the Versaclimber. Hey, this was fun!
Like the old aerobic dance classes, syncopating motion with music pushes you along.

Gonna have to mildly disagree – for ANY age you are in seriously outstanding shape!
Holiday greetings, Lloyd.
Just slacking around the house here after having heart surgery Thursday. Be awhile before I’m ready for any aerobics.
I see you keep your Thera Cane hanging around the office. Very handy tool that has kept me out of the chiropractors office many times. Yours has an interesting side knob that I haven’t seen before, I’ll have to do some research and find out what benefits that might bring.
Carry on, keep kicking old age’s butt!
here is another story of bureaucracy nuts
https://globalnews.ca/news/10194657/peachland-couple-dispute-regional-district-living-in-tiny-home/
homeless folks at all time high in Canada, honestly sometimes in western cities you can see the homeless lined up/camped out for blocks..
and so many more no place to call home.
a man/wife buy 12 acres and build a Tiny Home…Not bother any one, and numnuts want him to tear it down etc..
WHAT The CHUCK is wrong with numnuts in charge? Does not make ANY sense
