1/2 My hike training has significantly evolved. I’ve experimented to see what works best for me.
I used to do a walk/run workout with a weighted backpack, but that aggravated my knees. I’m now having success with a resistance training focused on the legs— high step (platform), single- and two-legged squats, forward lunges, single-legged Romanian dead lift, and Bulgarian split squat— all with weights— ankle weights and weight belt with dumbbells added for several of them.
