[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2406726, member: 54178"] As one who has been "in shape" for decades I will unreservedly state that you MUST do resistance ("weight") training 3 days a week in addition to cardio training, either running, swimming, bicycling or hiking with a weighted pack, or all of these in no particular order for the alternate 3 days a week. It's good to have a rest day. Like the Greek prostitute in the movie Never on a Sunday you may use Sunday as your "day of rest". OTOH don't do as I have done occasionally and just plain quit exercising for several months because "getting back in shape" ia not easy or fast. Weight training not only helps you lose weight and keep it off far better than an equal amount of time spent on aerobic training but you absolutely need that upper body strength for endurance in tough hunts and day after day stamina on long hunts. Plus, for men, the ladies will notice your weight training results and for women you will fit into the clothes sizes you want to have and look good doing it. P.S. if you are new to weight training you need to have a base of about three months of aerobic training before beginning weight training to get the best results and be safe doing it. The best way to "lift" is to do a given weight s l o w l y to a 3 count contraction movement and 3 count release movement. This gets the best results with the very least possible chance of injury and the best chance of also gaining stamina. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
