Hiking with the same friend every weekend since I retired last year.
The climbs never bother me.
It’s the way down that gets me, quads shaking and knees aching long before we’re back at the car.
Spent another afternoon this week in a hospital waiting room with my parent, and those stiff chairs didn’t help either.
Got all this time now and keep thinking I should finally do something about the legs instead of just hoping the hikes get easier.
Where does someone my age even start with strength training when the legs are fine going up and fall apart coming down?
