When the activity level is too high

Road Scholar
Road Scholar over 5 years ago

Occasionally, I see programs that look fascinating but have an activity level that is higher than I usually enjoy. Should I attend the program and try to challenge myself or play it safe?

    I attended the Independent Paris trip last fall and the activity description is very accurate. Some of our group had a hard time keeping up.If its something you are really interested n, "train" first, walk more, take more stairs, stand more. You will get an idea of how you will manage. The RS people can help you find something similar but less active .

    I'm also attending the Independent Paris trip in July and I've been doing just that: increasing my activity level. I'm looking forward to it!

    I agree on the training aspect. Several of us trained for the RS photography program in Costa Rica. Better to be in good condition to really enjoy the experience.

    I am going on another CR trip next weekend. I went on a photography trip to Scotland and it was amazing, and almost went on the RS photog trip. Do tell, what was it like? Can you show us some photos (a link to them somewhere?) Did you raft? That is the only part of my 3 Jewels Trip I hope I am fit enough to enjoy. I walk 5 miles a day many days, so otherwise feel fit...
