[pct-l] my secret to getting in shape

[BLANCHARD, SYM]

I found it really helpful to sit as little as possible.  I have a desk job, but my desktop raises up so I am always standing.  I stand and keep moving move on an Elliptical Trainer<http://www.amazon.com/Stamina-55-1610-InMotion-Elliptical-Trainer/dp/B000VICRO8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393184409&sr=8-1&keywords=inmotion+elliptical> under my desk so I very rarely need to sit.  Not very aerobic, but it is much better than just standing in one spot.

I find I can easily continue to do 30 miles a day when I get back on the trail after the long winter months off.

You got that right! I am reading "what makes Olga run". She took up track and field events when she was 77! I want to know Olga's secrets, too.

My new secret to getting in shape is squats. Heavy squats. I’ve gotten them up to 150lbs, which is more than I weigh (at least I hope so), and man does that kind of strength make backpacking feel easy as pie. Someday I hope I can squat 175 or even more. I’m almost 50, too. Never too old.
