Physical Preparation

In this section of the blog we will provide some ideas regarding physical training. It is also a great place to provide any workout information you might find for the group to take a look at.  To be prepared you will want to at least start some kind of plan by mid-August.

This kind of trip with 45- 50 lbs on your back will really challenge your balance. Do some research and find exercises designed to increase not only your muscle stamina, but balance as well.

Suggested exercises so far:

• Start walking or running. Get your endurance and heart rate up. We will be walking about 8 hours a day.
• Lunges. A great way to strengthen your legs.
