How old is too old to apply for physical hunts?

Only your body knows for sure. It will tell you when the time comes.

Yes, if I had been diligent about workouts in my younger life, I think I would be in a better position today. Too much sitting over the years results in a core/back that just isn't what it could have been.

Somewhat off topic from the OP since I turn 40 in the fall, but this one hits hard since I too ride a desk for a living. I have weight to lose, but I have bucket list hunts I want to accomplish in the next 10 years just in case I am not as agile from 50-60. Anybody else hovering 40 need to have a come to jesus talk with ourselves and make the changes now.

My plan is to implement a core strength workout with Yoga and weight alternating cardio. On top of that, I think for my 40th birthday, I want to get full comprehensive examine meaning head to toe blood work, organ analysis, bone density. A full workup to see what needs work past the annual exam.

Let's get off our behinds, or kudos to you if your already doing this, so we can be posting epic hunts into our 50's and 60's like we all dream about.

Life is won in the will....and how well your knees survive.

Routine has been everything for me. Once I got off it, I was surprised how fast
things went down hill. Back at it. Gains come slower. The gradual build is best
for me. that and trying to keep up with attractive people younger than myself.

Ran into a trail runner last year while out scouting, who said she was a lot slower
these days following an accident. Still, took all I had to keep up but was great incentive.
Should have gotten contact info. I'd be in shape by now.

I tell myself I'll quit when I cannot get up the mountain, but I probably just take up
road hunting, like everyone else.
