🏔️ Get Strong for Your Next Adventure – At Home or the Gym!
🏔️ Get Strong for Your Next Adventure – At Home or the Gym! Strength Workouts for Hikers: Train Smarter, Hike Stronger Whether you’re dreaming of your first bucket list hike or gearing up for another summit, your training starts long before you hit the trail. One of the best ways to prepare is by building strength and endurance through targeted workouts that mimic real hiking challenges — like uphill climbs, backpack weight, and rocky, uneven terrain. That’s why I created these two simple strength circuits designed specifically for hikers. Each one focuses on key areas: legs, glutes, core, and upper body support. And the best part? You can do them at home or in the gym with minimal equipment — just your body and a resistance band! 💪 Try these two circuits: 🏔️ Workout 1: “Trail Ready Legs & Core” Focus: Lower body power, core stability, and uphill enduranceEquipment: Resistance band (optional), mat Repeat the circuit 2–3x with 30–45 seconds of rest between each round. 🥾 Workout 2: “Backpack Strong & Balanced” Focus: Upper body support, core control, balance under loadEquipment: Resistance band or light backpack, optional mat Repeat the circuit 2–3x with 30–60 seconds rest between rounds. ✨ Encouragement Tip: You don’t need to go fast — you need to be consistent. Add these into your weekly training 2–3 times a week and you’ll feel stronger, more stable, and ready to take on that summit. Repeat each circuit 2–3 times, and you’ve got yourself a hike-specific workout that helps build the strength and stamina you need for your next adventure. 🌿 Remember — strong hikers aren’t born, they’re built. One step, one rep, one climb at a time. 🌲 Melanie Michaelchuk, CPT-NASM | Stretch & Flexibility Coach | Eco-Therapy Guide | Hiking Enthusiast 🌲 Passionate about helping women over 40 embrace the outdoors and reach new heights, Melanie specializes in fitness training, flexibility coaching, and hiking preparation.
