Trekking with Arobh Ele is thrilling โ but it demands physical readiness. To ensure a safe and enjoyable journey, build your fitness using the following activities:
Running improves lung capacity and stamina. Aim for 5 km runs, 3–4 times a week, to prepare for high-altitude exertion and long trekking days.
Daily 5 km walks, especially on uneven trails or inclines, strengthen your legs and condition your body for long treks and varied terrain.
Exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, and planks enhance core strength, flexibility, and balance — all vital for managing slopes and rocky trails.
Set your treadmill to incline and walk or run for 30–45 minutes. This simulates uphill trekking and boosts stamina when outdoor training isn’t possible.
Focus on cardio and leg workouts (like step-ups, leg presses, and cycling) to build endurance, prevent injuries, and improve performance on steep climbs.
Engage in outdoor games like football, basketball, cycling, or weekend hikes. These improve agility, strength, and endurance in a fun, natural way.
Fitness Level: Light to moderate cardio training helps
