Stilt Walking Update

It's a gorgeous and sunny Saturday here in Huntsville, and that means....Stilt Time!

Got up and moving for the 4th time today for about an hour and a half on the drywall stilts. With the new "training wheels", aka walking poles, I felt much better lumbering about. Balance is getting better and the endurance is building. Now that I'm back on track with Luke's weekly workouts and spare time strength excercises, things should progress more quickly.

For the curious, the drywall stilts are 2 feet tall at their lowest setting and 4 feet at the highest. Yep, 2 feet is plenty! At 5'10", I'm a short guy, but with stilts on, I'm almost 8 feet tall! It's a pretty cool view.

Best part of today's test run was getting outside the apartment for a bit to navigate steps, slopes, and getting in and out of doors. It's REALLY FUN and I can't wait to walk more as the weather warms up!
