Fitness Dirt & Pretty Things
One couples journey to discover fitness on a shoe-string.4.6.06
Running High
Well it was not really a run, but a high altitude walk to the Great Steps in the Blue Mountains in Western Sydney. Liz and I have been working hard to get our fitness back up to speed, with my recovery from ACL surgery, and Liz having our little girl over six months ago.
In this video you can physically see how challenging these steps are! I worked up to a heart rate of around 140 beats per minute. Each step we took was equivalent to a lunge at close to 90 degrees going up and down. The walk took half an hour both ways, and I was drenched in sweat by the end of it.
This goes to show that you can really get into tip-top shape on a low budget and check out some awesome scenery while doing so!
