Ahem. Yep, I just finished my BSA Physical for High Adventure. Passed with flying colors even! Except for one small thing. My doctor asked if I regularly exercise. . .
I gave my doctor my exercise routine: "I climb the stairs at work instead of taking the elevator, and a week ago I backpacked 8 miles." (don't tell the doc that my work only has 2 floors, and no elevator). Doc said, "so you're active, but do you exercise?"
So now my doc's got me wondering what I should be doing to stay in shape (more than once a month at campouts).
I can still out backpack, out hike, out climb out swim any of my scouts (even the 17-18 year olds). But I need to start exercising. I used to jog, but my knees can't take it anymore. I think I'll start biking in the mornings, but that means getting up earlier (I already get up at 5:40am).
We'll see how it goes, but I am going to try to be better.
