My normal routines of walking and yoga were not getting me where I wanted to be and trying to recover from shoulder surgery and then the tear in my calf muscle had me concerned I would not be able to hike this summer. So I signed up for this 6 week program that had weights and running and all the things I  abhor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I know I could stand to lose some weight, but that was not my focus or goal.   I wanted to be able to get up off the floor without any trouble. I want to be able to put on my pack and wear it for a couple of days to go backpacking. I want to be able to go hiking and not have to give up after a couple of miles. So today when I retested I was very pleased to see that I improved my time from the benchmark that I set 5 weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I&#8217;m rather pleased with this progress. I&#8217;m rewarding myself with funny shirts and awesome workout pants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1650343967524.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1650343967524-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1650343967524-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1650343967524-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1650343967524-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1650343967524-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1650343967524.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much of the reason for me joining this program was because was because I was starting to feel old and weak.
