I looked up 'bungalow legs' as I've always lived in a one-storey house & wondered if it might be what's happening to me now I no longer have to use stairs at work.
Answer - it may well be.

This article, tho, has helpful ideas how to keep muscles from losing too much strength without having to seek out stairs to run up & down!

Don’t look at the problem without finding the solution!

The article in my OP does suggest some solutions Pantglas2.
I think it's useful to realise it may not be 'just age' and there can be more life in the old dogs yet.

I have lived in a bungalow all my life except for 5 years when we first got married. I do get out of breath if I have to go up stairs or up a hill. We turned our house into a chalet bungalow to start a family but we have always slept downstairs.
