Enjoying the outdoors is a great way to stay in shape and take in some majestic views. But you may not know that strength training at home will enhance your performance and allow you to enjoy the hike to its fullest.
Movements like lunges and squats with weights, as well as planks and core exercises will strengthen joints and improve stability. Improvements in these areas will allow you to better carry a backpack, handle the steep inclines and reduce potential injuries out on the trail.
