Ron and Dorothy Strasser
You could come to the Forest Park Conservancy work day on March 21st. That would be FREE. I am a fine specimen (well kind of anyway) of a person that has never lifted weights and have pretty good upper body strength. Trail work is not only good upper body workout, but very good for flexibility. And... even if a physical therapist (or occupational therapist like Dorothy) were to chime in and tell me I was full of it, I would only agree if I knew that I was just doing the same motion for too many reps. You can vary work type when working on trails very easily. And you are outdoors in a beautiful setting. Of course it might be cold/ht at times as it is not indoors. Just my 2 cents.

A serious question. Does anyone in Portland know of a really cheap place to lift weights? I'm past 60 and I have to pump some iron to slow down the calcium loss inherent in aging and cycling. Note that I mean REALLY cheap. I'm on a fixed income.
Reply off line.
Thanks.
