I got into climbing about 20 years ago. It's not so much the climbing that keeps me in shape, but rather it's the incentive that keeps me working out and watching what I eat (every extra pound feels like an anchor hanging off your butt when you're up there!). I do a lot of walking, stairmaster, lift weights, etc. I've done some mountaineering but although I still love the hills I'm not that much into suffering anymore (age and tuning spinets has cured me of the need for that I guess), now it's just rock and ice climbing and non-technical mountain trails.

What do you do to keep fit? I work out with a trainer 2 mornings a week, ride my recumbent bike about 12 miles a week, and do a yoga class every other Sunday. Plus LOTS of supplements, protein, and organic fruits and veggies. David Andersen On Nov 30, 2009, at 11:18 AM, William Monroe wrote: Like John F., I enjoy road cycling a great deal. However, with kids and goofy schedule, the last year has taken me in a slightly different direction. I spend more time now playing racquetball, and my main focus, Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do. Both Racquetball and Tae Kwon Do provide a very nice conditioning workout, but I've really found a home with Tae Kwon Do. A never ending physical and mental challenge, even with the simplest forms and techniques. I'm not quite to the level of you, PRJ (congratulations, BTW). I'll be testing for green belt in January. Very fun. William R. Monroe On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 12:09 PM, paul bruesch <paul at bruesch.net> wrote: Very good, very funny, Conrad!! And BTW, my floor pump gives me a good workout... as does starting my chainsaw...

BTW, I visited REI yesterday and got a new floor bicycle tire pump - those ones that mount on the frame are definitely only for emergency with the high pressure Prestas. I'm also doing my homework prior to getting a canoe or kayak with an idea to doing c/k camping trips. Conrad Hoffsommer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
