I associate bodybuilding with being a punk and I have a visceral loathing for punks. I have started exercising because my new job is a very physically active one. I am a gardener and landscaper for a retreat center and I live on site. There is a small weight room in one of the buildings. there is also a small gravel road on the property that is about a mile in length. I also would like to get into wilderness hiking as it is a 1,000 acre / 400 hectare property surrounded on three sides by federally protected wilderness. The desert does not suffer fools gladly. Once my level of fitness improves I will incorporate some hill climbing into my regular cardio routine. But I want to start slowly so that I can keep the momentum going.
