Good Morning ?, now at 210 lbs with a resting heart rate of 59 all after starting the UA program in January and working with Rebecca a few months earlier. Just signed up for the Spring session. There are days when the motivation is questionable but the end goal is so worth it. Have a Great Weekend. Ed

Hi John, Welcome to the Forum. I’m going to be climbing Mount Blanc in September which will be a couple of weeks from my 67th birthday. I needed to loose about 30 pounds before the climb so this is what I have been doing to prepare.

Firstly I started working with the Uphill Athelete’s nutritionist Rebecca Dent to get on a healthy diet and working on my weight goal of loosing 30 pounds. (I’m down 20 so far). I wanted to do this first before I started any of the training programs. This was designed to lay my foundation for fitness. So I started working with Rebecca last November with tremendous success.

Secondly I was ready to start one of the Training Groups this past January.

Now after the above, my list of goals has grown to include mountains that I never thought that I could and woudle consider.

I hope that this helps and all the best on your journey.

Ed
