[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2147183, member: 103947"] Weight training is fantastic for a person's body. More important, SMART weight training is fantastic for the body. I've done squats and leg presses for decades. I have strong healthy knee joints and hips. Starting light for a warm up working heavier to a max repetition of 6-8 is fine. Even at age 70, that is a good execise. Many believe leg presses and squat are bad for knees. They can be but smart training will build tendon strength and muscle around those joints that will keep them protected from injury if training is done properly. I do believe the older we get, the less weight and more reps are the best for those areas. Even upper body workouts the same is true. Those workouts have helped me in long pack trips with heavy packs and climbing with weighted packs. Wind/Cardio training is necessary as well and neglecting that is a bad idea. [/QUOTE]
