Hiker Training For Older HIkers

All training is very personal; however, here is a good way to start training for that hike you have been dreaming of this summer! In the first quarter I do all of these exercises every other day, or just 3 days a week along with walking and biking.

👏👏 this is great!

[@PapaBoiOutdoors]

Thanks Jasmin! Now get those weights out and get to work! 🤣

[@NewsViewsAndTruth]

Another video that is likely to make me feel old........
two things that help that feeling are doing BJJ training,
and playing Virtual Reality workout games.
I really do enjoy "Supernatural" workout,
and it is helping me raise my activity level again.

Ahh the PCT is an amazing sounding trail.
It would be an adventure to do the PCT also.
That trail has one of the all great trail stories that I have heard.
There was this trail family of hikers who was on their second or third year of hiking the PCT. It's not that they had done it year after year, but they were still on their hike.
What they would do is just hike whatever they want that day, not worry about putting in long miles, and they would pull into the closest hiker town during winter to work some small jobs and earn money to hike the next year. this group had stayed together and kept hiking for several years.
Heard about them while I was on the Appalachian Trail, and oh boy does that sound like the dream.

[@NewsViewsAndTruth]

As you talk about getting into good condition for your hike, my thought goes to a series of videos put out on youtube which has really helped me.
Have you seen the Gear Skeptic series of videos? I really benefited from his videos about food, and brain health in regards to hydration and electrolytes.

[@PapaBoiOutdoors]

Yes! the Gear Skeptic is a great source of information. In fact, I have been researching about electrolytes and his videos helped a lot. Unfortunately, I still cannot seem to simplify a way to easily figure this out for most people.

[@PapaBoiOutdoors]

I think it would be for someone without a family of their own or someone retired that had the time.
