[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2147488, member: 29323"] I'm 67, and I still hunt elk in the wilderness. I worked for the Forest Service, and after a deadly fire, they decided to come up with a new fitness test. Carry 45 lbs 3miles in 45 minutes without running. I couldn't walk that fast without a pack, and I was in my 40's then. I found I had to take short fast steps to get there. I had been a jogger for years prior to that, but once I started doing the pack test, I found hiking the hills and backpacking to be much easier. My calves didn't burn anymore when going up hills. I hurt with a former Marine who is 20 years younger than me. He could finally beat me up a hill when he started running triathlons. I read a book "Fit or Fat" about 30 years ago. It said the best way to burn calories was more than 20 minutes of aerobic exercise at a pace that you can keep up for an hour. It also said that exercise in the morning increases your metabolism for 8 hours. Works for me, although I don't do it in 45 minutes anymore. [/QUOTE]
