That was good Battue, "Schwarzenegger, Reeves, Smokepole......" We have some of those guys at the gym. I was just thinking, at my age, my joints, ligaments, and tendons couldn't withstand the amount and intensity of exercise needed to even approach that level. And that's if I was willing to put in the work, which I'm not. Luckily, I don't have to.
I really like this trainer. When I told her I was training to carry heavy loads in a pack, she focused on core and gave me a bunch of exercises that don't look very impressive and won't have anybody confusing me with Ah--nold, but I can feel a difference when I carry a pack already.
If I could just get her to quit ogling.
As far as report card, I'm not trying to lose weight, just get in shape for fall. Between the core work and the 2-3 X weekly walks with the pack, I'm feeling better and stronger. Two weekends from now I'll put that to the test in the mountains.
