<p>Hah. Not hardly. I’m barely a “hiker” by NH standards. Weather permitting, I try to get out for a day hike once every week or ten days. But, I’m a fair weather hiker and I’m slow, slow, slow. I went on my first hike in the mountains in 40 years last July. I picked a hike that was touted as an easy “family hike” with good views for “modest” effort. I was completely gobsmacked by how hard it was. The “mountain” part was a real shock compared to the casual walks I’d been doing for a year or so around relatively flat state parks.</p>
<p>I think it’s really fantastic for geezer fitness. Challenging physically, pretty low injury potential, and terrific to get outdoors.</p>
