Description
Enhance your hiking fitness with this combination hike which incorporates strength and balance training into a moderate hike. We will stop three times throughout the hike to do exercises targeting major muscle groups (eg glutes, quads) as well as balance and flexibility. All exercises will be done standing, so bring hiking poles to help with balance as we will be standing on one leg at times. All exercises are suitable for beginners but can be made more difficult for those who want a fitness challenge. There will be a total of about 30 minutes of exercises within a 2 hour hike.
