Do you constantly find yourself getting huffed and puffed while hiking up hills?
If so, you are not alone! This is one of the most common complaints I hear from hikers about their time on the trail. So today, I want to share with you a fantastic training method you can use, which, over time, can significantly improve your steep uphill sections. This is how you do it: Today, I want to share with you a quick, 15-minute workout a hiker can use to improve their strength while training at home. This workout requires no equipment (aside from a backpack) and covers quite a large portion of your body (you will work your quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves and upper back). Perfect for any hiker who is short on time and looking to squeeze in a quick session!! This is how you do it (see bottom of the page for exercise demonstrations):
*Repeat 3 times, with no rest in between exercises or sets Simple! So next time you are short on time and tempted to entirely skip a day of training, pull this workout out and give it a go! It will serve you well.
