Get Fit for Hiking

We often get asked questions such as “Where do I start?” or “How do I get fit for hiking?”

This is a major stumbling block for many people and unfortunately for some, this is as far as they get. Others don’t do enough training and end up having a terrible time on their hike.

TrekFit Australia doesn’t want that to be you!

We have used our experience and knowledge to ensure that you are confident and ready for your hiking adventure. We have designed and road-tested pre-hiking training programs that include all of the key elements for getting you fit.

About Ruth

Fitness Training

As your fitness develops, you will build up all aspects of your training.

Initially your training program includes a couple of rest days each week. This allows your body time to recover and gives your muscles time to build strength.

It is important to start slowly and build up. If you go too hard too early you risk getting injured – then you are right back at the start!

We recommend some basic exercises such as squats, lunges, pushups and sit ups. All of these can be done either at home or in the park, or gym, depending on where you are at any time. Of course getting out into the great outdoors and walking is an important part of your training.
