Cabin Quarantine Workout

Readers Note:  Darrell's on duty today.

Brain cancer is...

...keeping up the fitness routine.

Our son, Zachary, created the title for this post.  With the closing of fitness centers, people created home gym--when they could find weights.  Another bit of fallout from COVID is that people started hoarding weights like they do toilet paper.  We have a nice supply of weights at home. (You may recall we wrote about our home gym in March, here. You can see some of our weights in that post pic.)

But we don’t carry our weights up to the cabin. Hence, up here we do body weight strength training (using your own weight to create resistance to build muscle).  Using a door frame to do pull-ups and doing push-ups with a weighted backpack are some examples.  Above you see me doing reverse push-ups under the table.  Hey, it works!

After we worked out, we went for another--but lower--hike.  

Here's today's lower-elevation view of the lake. 

We were trying to estimate how high we went in mountains yesterday.  The lake is at 5,700 ft. and today’s picture was at 7,200 ft. (about 1,500 ft. above the lake).  Comparing the lake pictures from yesterday’s and today’s post, we think that we approached 9,000 ft. yesterday.  Great views in any case!

Happy Sunday, Team D!
