[QUOTE="Frances Bat, post: 632500, member: 68840"] Hi MMCamino, Welcome to the forum! As someone who was very out of shape in their 40s, it is my experience that 10 weeks is enough time to have a significant positive impact on your fitness level. The miracle is the way the body responds and adapts to new demands placed on it. If you start walking today maybe using a pedometer and then continue increasing your steps each day, and then start adding some longer walks at weekends and then start trying to go faster, or carrying an increasingly heavier pack, or taking more demanding routes, you will certainly see your fitness level rise significantly over 10 weeks. You can also train while on the camino. Start off gently, and don't go overboard in first few days. If time is not an issue maybe consider building in a few more rest days to help the body recover and to avoid injury. I wish you well. If you go out for a walk this evening - then you might say your camino has already begun. [/QUOTE]
