[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1325797, member: 54178"] Congratulations on your workout regimen and sticking to it. Your reward was not just that great 6 x6 but the experience of the hunt and the health you [I]re[/I]gained. Try to keep at it for the rest of your life. It IS a life-long quest but at 60, when your friends are popping 10 pills a day and looking like the Micheilen Man you'll still be having fun hunting and doing other active lifestyle things. In my 30s and 40s I XC ski raced in winter and bike raced in summer. Then at 47 I began weight lifting and got "ripped". At 48 I was truly in the best all around shape of my life, even better than when I skied the two day, 100 mile Canadian Ski Marathon in 1982. Now I'm 74 and still working out, hiking the mountains near my house and, in the blasting 'Vegas summer heat, doing an hour on an elevated treadmill with a pack or hitting my Bowflex weight machine. I ski, backpack and hunt and am still enjoying life. "Better to wear out than rust out." Eric B. [/QUOTE]
