Practice makes perfect
Hey fellow hikers, the good news is that I didn't feel bad this morning, nothing hurt or was sore. So starting out under weight is the key. I think you would be better off doing a 3 mile hike three times a week with a 20 lb pack instead of doing an 8 hour walk one day a week.
I haven't started walking with a pack yet, but I will this week. I am actually wondering how silly I am going to look walking around with boots and a backpack in Florida. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat other types of working out do you recommend in preparation for this hike?
ReplyDeleteWall sits, squats and lunges are all good for your legs. And anything that will strengthen your core is a plus.
