Behold: this graphic has some answers. Listen to “DIY Programming” on 100 Year Athlete Podcast and check out the Off The Mountain blog for more details about our DIY programming template.

“Every time I ski, my knee hurts. What should I do?”

Photo Dump for Sherry.
“I can be at home and hurt and be weak, or I can be at the gym and hurt and be strong.”
-Sherry Walsh, 72 years old
Sherry Walsh is not your average 70-something. While most people her age worry about falling and breaking a hip, Sherry is out on her mountain bike 5-7 days a week. She enjoys climbing 2,600+ feet up to Shadow Lake here in Park City, Utah. Her mental game is next level, and once you hear her story, you will have no more excuses.
