@64 my goal is to get stronger, slowly. I am out every day doing something. I try not to work hard enough to have a tired feeling the following day. I use the gym 2-3 days a week, light weight many reps. i use magazine articles for workouts when I’m tired of swithching between gym apparatus. I ride 2-3 days a week. I found great increase in performance by doing the 2 hour easy ride once a week. WOW
Stretching and yoga u tube videos 2 or 3 a week also are very helpful.
I PLAN TO INCLUDE A SWIM LAPS DAY when I retrun to florida in October.

Amen! Exercise, fun and getting away from it all for a bit is what it’s all about![/quote:d6e1h7vc]
I"m 62, retired, I live 6 months florida 6 NJ. I ride once a week, golf, sail, yoga, ski. Yea how could I do all this? Time management google calendar, eat right, no sugar, sleep well. I like alcohol in mod. (and the other hippie thing)lol But I do all this because I’m great at nothing, but can do almost everything, even after 7 operations. Back, neck, shoulders…etc. Physical therapy works, gym workouts all done also.
Google calender? wow what a tool. I can do double event days. ie, golf 9 at 7am(walk) M W F. Couple with beach, sail and yoga on those days. The rest fits in easily.
I love being able to do something everyday. My biggest let down is if I burn out on a single day, which may cause me to miss an outdoor day! Unless I travel and have to sit on a plane, then I go for it the day before and chill the travel day!
Heading to Fruita, CO., next September. Life is good at Alafia State Park, Fl.This guy has it right!
(the one who wrote the post)I’d really like to do Moab & Fruita. Would like to find people to do it with. I read too much about the risk of being alone on these trails. Anyone interested?
