[speaker002:] which which who is it
[speaker001:] Denise is her name Denise Austin she's kind of off the wall person I guess but she's really good
[speaker002:] oh um-hum you do it at home
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] by yourself
[speaker001:] yes now what do you do
[speaker002:] I I I'm on the sixty eighth floor and I walk down stairs
[speaker001:] you walk down the stairs
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] how many floors
[speaker002:] sixty eight
[speaker001:] how about do you walk up the stairs
[speaker002:] well my doctor told me to start walking up the stairs too I've got bad knees and he said it would it would uh do that I I I enjoy going down but this going up and I'm going up about fifteen flights now
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] but uh yeah I I just started going up
[speaker001:] yeah well I worked in a building that was and I worked on the eighth eighth floor or tenth I can't remember anyway I walked up the stairs every day but like three times a day
[speaker002:] um-hum well that's really I think it's great for you and if you got to get there it's not so for me it's not so much of a chore
[speaker001:] well I don't think I could walk up sixty eight flights of stairs
[speaker002:] well they have that vertical marathon in uh I think it's in March where they do go up the stairs of this building
[speaker001:] that building is sixty eight floors
[speaker002:] oh no it's seventy one
[speaker001:] oh I didn't know that
[speaker002:] but we're on the sixty eighth floor
[speaker001:] gee
[speaker002:] and uh and so they have a vertical marathon they have a race and they have people that can walk go up sixty eight or what seventy one flights as quickly as I can go down them
[speaker001:] golly
[speaker002:] and and I go at a pretty good clip
[speaker001:] well do you do anything outside in the summertime
[speaker002:] going down I run I do a lot of races uh
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] you know the and usually just the five K uh I hope to do the capital ten thousand this spring though
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] I haven't done a ten K in a couple of years but
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] but uh I like to run I just don't like being outside in the winter I don't like
[speaker001:] the wind
[speaker002:] yeah the cold and
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I just
[speaker001:] well in the summer time I love to bicycle I love I take my bicycle to White Rock Lake I ride around the lake I love it
[speaker002:] oh I want to start riding around there I don't have a bicycle but but uh I I wouldn't mind that
[speaker001:] I have a bad I have a bad foot so whenever I I'm on my foot a lot it starts hurting me so I can't do much on my feet
[speaker002:] how would you do aerobics
[speaker001:] I do I make sure that my foot is flat on the floor when I bring it down
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I just can't do anything on my toes because I hurt my foot so I just I do the best I can
[speaker002:] that's kind of
[speaker001:] I just have to make sure that foot that heel is down flat
[speaker002:] that's why I don't do aerobics is it's too iffy for the knees
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and I've got that's that's been my worse problem is the knee injury
[speaker001:] but I think that uh exercise I think everyone needs exercise
[speaker002:] oh yeah if I didn't if I didn't do this I uh we've got a woman in our office that weighs three hundred pounds
[speaker001:] you right right
[speaker002:] and she can't walk she can't do things that she can't do the things that you would just do not even think about doing like walk couple of blocks down the street to go to the store
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] we were going to go to the West End for lunch and she said no I can't walk that far
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] it's three blocks
[speaker001:] I couldn't handle that
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and I I have to keep my weight down because I feel so much better when I do
[speaker002:] I just I feel better knowing that I can do what I I can do what I want to do and not be um worn out or sore or you know I I don't want to run a marathon but
[speaker001:] right I just want to feel good
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I just feel good whenever I exercise feel so much better I'm getting ready to go skiing
[speaker002:] yeah what are you doing to train for that just more aerobics

[speaker002:] that that's the major reason I'm walking up the stairs
[speaker001:] to go skiing

[speaker001:] uh-huh right
[speaker002:] now squat on the wall
[speaker001:] right right
[speaker002:] you know just sit he goes just sit back here and do this for a minute and I sat down and did it for about twenty seconds and said
