- Q Aside from walking, is there any other exercise I could do to improve my walking?
- A You could consider introducing some resistance training into your preparation.Training with weights will build specific strength in the key muscles you use when trekking. The main focus areas are the legs, arms (biceps and triceps), back (particularly if carrying a rucksack) and core. Aim to build up to two sessions per week and try to get good instruction so you carry out the exercises correctly, get the maximum benefits from your training time and help avoid injury. Other forms of exercise that will also help include cycling, swimming, and running.
