TFT87: Exercises A Hiker Should Avoid

from The Training For Trekking Podcast · host Rowan Smith

In this episode, I explore a number of exercises which I see commonly recommended to hikers, which I strongly believe you should skip. You will learn: The single most overused (and overrated) exercise in the fitness industry (and why your trainer always asks you to do them) When a hiker should consider using jumping exercises (Hint: it is not when you are trying to improve your endurance) A few exercises a hiker should leave to the bodybuilders The two most useless core exercises for hikers (plus three alternatives which will give you MUCH better results) The old school leg exercise which isn't worth your time A fun piece of training equipment which probably isn't helping you on the trail My views on Bosu and Swiss balls for hikers == Want to get fit, strong and resilient for your hiking?
