Follow @fithikernation for tips on hiking training, fitness and injury prevention! Squats are a great place to start but once you’ve got the hang of them try adding in an exercise like the split squat. This move forces your front leg to do more work, helping correct side-to-side imbalances common in hikers. Plus, it actively stretches your back hip flexor and thigh — areas that often get tight from sitting or long uphill climbs. And if you’re looking for a full plan to build lower body strength

Shorter steps, a slight forward lean, steady breathing, and keeping your pace consistent, instead of push-and-pause… that’s what actually saves energy!

Trekking poles aren’t just for balance — they take the load off your legs and let your arms help with the climb 💪🥾 👉 When you push down, engage your lats (big back muscles), not just your arms — this keeps you strong and saves your shoulders. ✨ Pole setup tips: • General hiking: adjust so your elbow is at 90° with the tip by your foot. • Long uphills: shorten 5–10 cm for better leverage. • Short uphills: just grip lower down

These quick stretches can help relieve tension in common problem areas. 🎯 Hold each stretch for 30-60 seconds per side 🌀 Repeat 1–2 rounds during rest breaks and post-hike Stretching can help calm irritated tissues and temporarily improve mobility/flexibility — but if your pain keeps coming back on hikes, that’s a sign that something deeper needs addressing. 🔎 Persistent pain is usually your body telling y

Follow @fithikernation for more tips on hiking training and fitness! Most people plant their poles straight up and down, but angling them backward ~45° (like Nordic walking) can make your hiking way more efficient. When you plant the pole behind you and push down and back, you turn your arm swing into forward momentum. This takes pressure off your knees and hips, improves posture and gives you a smoother rhythm. It basically turns hiking into a full-body movement instead of just a leg workout. ⬇

Comment KNEES if you want the link to access the Trailblazer Knee Strength Program 🥾 Strong glutes make hiking feel easier, smoother, and more supported. From a physio standpoint, your glutes play a huge role in how well you hike. They help you generate power uphill, control your knee on descents, and keep your hips steady on uneven terrain. When they’re weak, your knees and/or lower back may end up doing more work than they should. Here are some of my go-to glute-strengthening exercises for hi

9 Hiker Trash Style Cold Soaking Recipes to Hit the Spot

Most hikers don’t lift heavy enough to actually get stronger. Not because they are lazy, but because their strength training is often random. Different exercises every week, no clear plan, and no real progression. Bodyweight training is a great place to start, especially for beginner hikers or anyone returning from injury. But without gradually increasing the challenge, the body has no reason to adapt. If your strength workouts don’t feel hard, effective, or like they’re actually doing anything,

Comment “KNEES” if you want my 8-week strength program for hikers 💪🏼 Most hikers (especially after winter, being sick, or time off) jump back in too fast: ⛔️ Long hikes right away ⛔️ Steep climbs big distances ⛔️ No strength work ⛔️ Multiple days in a row ⛔️ Too much, too soon Your body isn’t ready to handle that load yet — muscles, joints, and tendons need time to adapt. Skip that step and pain, stiffness, or injury often follows. Here’s how to ease back in smart: ✅ 2–3 hikes/week (or treadmi

Comment “KNEES” if you want my Trailblazer Knee Strength Plan — designed by a physio to help hikers build lower body strength, stability, and confidence on the trail. If you’ve ever rolled your ankle really bad (especially more than once) — and didn’t rehab it fully — you have a higher risk of dealing with chronic instability, balance issues, or future sprains. And even if you haven’t sprained them before, but are nervous about rolling your ankles on the trail, these exercises are a great place
