Fat experiences

Sounds familiar Great feeling, isn't it?

There's a flight of stairs near me that my friends and I often have to use to go up/down. I used to kind of smirk to myself when my "out of shape" friends would be exhausted/breathing heavy at the top of it. Last time I went up it (last week), I barely made it and was gasping for the next 10 minutes or so as I tried to catch my breath. I guess I'm the out of shape one now, haha.

Sounds like me lol. I'm recovering from surgery right now and began that and my weight, an up and down the stairs trip has me open mouthed breathing.

Remember to ambulate! Don't get cramps and blood clots.

As he's gotten fatter the little Butterball has a hard time with stairs with housework. When I'm home on Fridays I see him catching his breath as he finishes chores. I obviously discourage him from exercise. Though he didn't want to admit it, he didn't even want to go on a 15 minute walk. I knew he would get tires and hungry. So I encourage him to stay home and cook, as it encourages him to snack and rest himself.

I think the level of resistance one can sustain plays a small part. After a couple years of being able to give up at the slightest feeling of strain, resting on benches even if we haven't walked that much, and generally having softened up, it could be hard to endure any resistance. He has a hard time getting up one set of stairs that are steep, and pretty much only uses them if he has to.
