I share some of my challenges around osteoarthritis and weight gain and how I was able to recover from a full hip replacement and complete a 27km walk 6 weeks after finishing my rehab program. \r\n\nI don\u2019t think of myself as inspiring when I share my story because I am simply doing what I need to if I want to be able to stay health and mobile as I age but I have been told that my story is inspiring. If only one woman gets inspiration from what I have achieved, then I will continue to share. \r\n\nMobility, balance and flexibility is so important as we age. These are what will continue to give us a good quality of life and for me it means that I can continue to do the multi-day hikes that I love to do. I love the challenge of deciding to do a hike and then the planning process to get fit and strong to be able to complete the hike. My next big hike is in Iceland on July 2023. I have already started my training, 9 months out, so that I will be able to complete this challenging hike.\r\n\nIf you would like to learn more about Women\u2019s Fitness Adventures and the hikes that they organise visit:\r\n\nhttps://womensfitnessadventures.com/adventures/ (Website)\r\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/womensfitnessadventures (Facebook)","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/1d0ca62d-05c1-47ab-90d7-0b1058acdebd/5D6DEhaQ7gNWmfOZF0yt_Ty_.png"}
