Hi all

 

I haven't posted lately - but have been keeping up the walking.  Have to get back into an overall workout though.

 

Here are my unposted steps:  Week ending May 15 70K steps, week ending May 22 58K steps plus two golf games (yes we can golf again in Ontario, now if only restaurants could open )

 

Cheers!

Is everyone still working out? Galapagos is right around the corner!

I am thinking about all of you lucky people that are going on this trip, and I am jealous.  I figured I would post here, as a suggestion to get back out there and do a little exercise for the next few months leading up to your trip.  A little extra conditioning will help your air consumption.  As they dive in groups, and stay together all dive, they go up together as well.  I have made this trip twice.  The first time, I wore new dive gloves.  The finger tips were gone within a couple of days.  The second trip, I bought a pair of synthetic leather work gloves from Home Depot.  They worked great, and I strongly recommend giving it a try.  Your days up at Wolf and Darwin will be spent holding on to rocks during the dives, so good hand protection is very important.  Ed

THANK YOU ED!!!  I gotta get back into my conditioning for this trip... the holidays have taken a toll! LOL!

I hate exercise too much to start a year before the trip.
Three months is more like it...  Plus the new year and all.

Great job Chris.  I thought about that exact thing when this post started up.  The trip seemed so far off, that I wondered how many were going to set a regime, and stick with it that long.  My way of dealing with that issue has been to try and book a trip every few months.  That always keeps me in the time frame where I need to start getting in shape for the next upcoming trip.  Just a suggestion.  Ed

Dove all week (yeah not much exercise BUT better than nothing!)
