Yeah love love love hiking!! Sorry, no offense to those who love the gym. I love the great outdoors. Of course, i didn't use to do that when i used to live in the Midwest especially winter time. Where I am now- it feels great doing it regularly as we're blessed with good weather almost every time :willy_nilly:

Welcome to the Exercise Challenge!!! Wow, mountain hiking??? I bet that's quite a workout...and I bet it's great for shaping your legs, too.

This is awesome!
My goal will be 1500.
I'm a cyclist, so the majority of my workouts are on my trainer when it's so cold outside. When it's nice, I will ride the trails outside or ride roadside if the roads are in good condition. Friday's I ride the Chinese Downhill here, so that will be my friday workout.
Twice a week I do strength training for my upper body to stay in shape for mountain bike season.

Wow!! Keep it up!! I've always wondered if i can cross train. I do mountain trailing/hiking. But due to a past ankle injury- it limits me sometimes as gets painful. I was recommended cycling and i can see you're doing a lot of it. Any tips- especially the type of mountain bike for women ? Thanks

Welcome to the Exercise Challenge!!! Wow, mountain hiking??? I bet that's quite a workout...and I bet it's great for shaping your legs, too.

I just started mountain hiking about 2 months ago. I used to run and was aiming at running half or full marathon. Due to a past ankle injury- I cant run as much anymore i had to look for something that I love to do hence shifting to this.

shaping legs: I hope so...I dont see any big difference yet

Btw- thanks for the welcome

 

[purpledove]

I am assuming you do this kind of cross training Good job :24::24:

yes.....sometimes, ill switch to this type of cross training

this builds stamina,..as well as strengthening the legs...i dont recommend the thorns though
