    What exercises can I do to get in better shape for hiking?

    By HikingOn | April 23, 2009

    I'm hoping to do a somewhat difficult day hike with a couple of friends in about a month and I'd like to be able to keep up with them. What can I focus on in my workouts at the gym that will help me get ready?

      Stair climbing machine and treadmill spring to mind. Lots of aerobic exercise. I do lunges and squats and jump rope here at home. Or walking around the neighborhood with a backpack full of bottles of water. That way, if it gets too difficult you can pour some of the water out. You could also do the best exercise, if there's anyplace nearby: go hiking.
