Strength And Fitness

I've been thinking about my overall strength, fitness and flexibility. This was occasioned by a couple of things -- first, I work on the 6th floor of a building and I walked up the stairs today on my way back for lunch. While I wouldn't say I was out of breath, it was certainly more tiring that I would have thought. Second, I've been thinking about some of the things Glenn said to me, as well as my perceptions, that I need to be better at relaxing and to grow stronger. Third, I was playing around last week or the week before with seeing if I could do the "shoot-the-duck" position (just on dry land, not ice). Yow! That's hard! I need to be more flexible and stronger if I hope to do some of these things.

In order to work on these things I'm thinking about a some things I could do... one is to take the stairs up to work every time -- certainly doable. I am also thinking about going hiking/walking more often. Tucson is a great place for that, there are a zillion trails around. Another possibility is a yoga class I might take with a friend. If any readers have taken yoga I'd love to hear about it.
