Hike

Human capabilities need a regular nourishment of exercise and practice, otherwise they fade away into eternal dormancy. Today, I took out some time to hike on Mission Peak, its been nearly 3 years since i visited this last.



With an altitude of 2517 ft, a good gradient of ascent, and a final leg which is a steep climb to the summit, this was one of the trails I used to effortlessly surmount during my "hay days".

But, the abuse that my physical body has undergone in the past 3 years, with a completely sedantry lifestyle, showed up as early as 20 minutes into the climb. With some effort, I was able to finish what seemed to be a herculean task at times, but I must admit that it was also an alarming realization of how bad my current fitness level is. The mind and body seemed so much out of sync, which only prolonged what should have otherwise been a simple physical activity. Fitness & Weight loss is certainly something that needs my attention soon.

I am sure most of you must have tried various ways to monitor, control and reduce weight gains. So I would be happy to learn about some creative ways to lose weight and get back to my previous fitness levels soon. Shoot your comments.
