Well, you're right. It's not common. And honestly a foot or 1.5 feet probably wouldn't be easy either. I do stand up comedy and at one stage I did, there were no small steps leading up to it. Everyone was able to get up. I needed a hand. Keep in mind, I'm 6'3 too... So a 1.5 foot step should be easy i'd think. But anyway, just getting up from the ground is a struggle. Want to strengthen the muscles that are needed for this. It's the quads, right?
