Much of the reason for me joining this program was because was because I was starting to feel old and weak. My normal routines of walking and yoga were not getting me where I wanted to be and trying to recover from shoulder surgery and then the tear in my calf muscle had me concerned I would not be able to hike this summer. So I signed up for this 6 week program that had weights and running and all the things I abhor.
I know I could stand to lose some weight, but that was not my focus or goal. I wanted to be able to get up off the floor without any trouble. I want to be able to put on my pack and wear it for a couple of days to go backpacking. I want to be able to go hiking and not have to give up after a couple of miles. So today when I retested I was very pleased to see that I improved my time from the benchmark that I set 5 weeks ago.
I’m rather pleased with this progress. I’m rewarding myself with funny shirts and awesome workout pants.
