To prepare for long hiking trips, many people believe that “cardio is king”. We disagree. We acknowledge that cardio is useful for training, however, developing strength and power are equally (if not more) conducive for this particular trail. It is important to develop the necessary strength, power, stability, and balance for handling long, steep uphill and downhill bouts without injury. Not to mention, you will be carrying a heavy backpack! This program will help you build full-body muscle and gain the muscular endurance needed for difficult trails.
Equipment needed: Sled, Dumbbells, Barbells, Squat Rack, and access to cardio machines.
What’s included: Four phases, 12 weeks of workouts, instructions you need to get started, and how to track your progress.
**This plan can be used to train for any type of backpacking trip, big or small.
