[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1190077, member: 54178"] I turned 73 April 4th. I'm in better shape than 3/4s of the hunters I saw last year in Nevada's Jarbridge Wilderness area so my 'Vegas mountain hiking and in the blistering hot summer indoor higher angle treadmill work must be paying off. I carry a 30+ lb. backpack on any of these workouts. For my upper body I use my Bowflex gym and free weights. I will say that I'm blessed with good genes and that helps a lot. As a younger guy in my 30s through 55 I was a Nordic ski patroller and XC ski racer. In the summer I bike raced and sea kayaked. That fitness base has really paid dividends in later life. I've had one shoulder surgery (left) and 2 screws to hold tendons in place. Now it looks like I may have to have 3 screws put in my right shoulder. Everyone has their "limitations. With some guys it's knees, with other it's hips. My motto is "Better to wear out than rust out." [/QUOTE]
