 How to get fit for the trek

In case you’re just starting with a regular fitness routine, phase out your distance targets in the following manner –
  • Target completing 5 km in 40 minutes when you begin.
  • Gradually increase your pace by running 4 times a week and bring it down to 5 km in less than 35 mins.
  • If you are above 45 years and is comfortable with brisk walking, then target covering 10km in 90 minutes.
  • If you are somebody you prefers cycling over running, then try to cover 25 km in 60 minutes.

Strength – Target 4 sets of squats with 20 in each
  • This is another area you should work on.
  • There is a lot of trekking distance that you will cover in high altitude carrying your backpacks.
  • You have to walk on uneven terrain during the trek. It could be taxing for your legs. For this, strengthening your legs will help.
  • It could be taxing for your legs. For this, strengthening your legs will help.
  • You can do some squats to strengthen them. Start with 3 sets of squats, with 8 squats in each set and work towards reaching your target in 3 weeks.

Flexibility
  • Another aspect that will help you trek comfortably is flexibility.
  • For this, you can do some stretching exercises – stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, lower back muscles and shoulders regularly.
  • On your trek, it is important that you arrive on the slopes with your muscles relaxed. Carrying a backpack, however light, can become a strain after a while.
