[QUOTE="devins, post: 1083170, member: 27441"] All of the above is sounding really good. I am 50 and will be taking my pacemaker up the mountain in August. I was released by my cardiologist last August to resume training and have been slowly getting back into condition. I consulted several long time sheep hunters and the most prevalent advice was right along with what you have heard for the most part. One great piece of advice I am following is getting my pack up to weight on a hill that I can go up and down 6 times in an hour and do as many pushups at the bottom as I can before starting back up. I am up to a little over 50 pounds now and in my boots getting them more broken in, I keep as hard of a pace as I can and with the pack on do 15-20 pushups, jump up and hit it again. I am also doing crossfit 3 days a week for strength and cardio and balance. The other bit of a different work out by a long time grand slammer is swimming until you can swim 30 minutes without having to take a break. He says to start off as best you can, early, and work up to this and you will handle the cardio well. So I am going to start working this in on my day off now that the lake is warming up. [/QUOTE]
