Basic Fitness required for Trekking

Trekking with Arobh Ele is thrilling — but it demands physical readiness. To ensure a safe and enjoyable journey, build your fitness using the following activities:

🏃‍♂️ Run at Least 5 KM

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.

🚶 Walk at Least 5 KM

Daily 5 km walks, especially on uneven trails or inclines, strengthen your legs and condition your body for long treks and varied terrain.

💪 Body Weight Exercises

Exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, and planks enhance core strength, flexibility, and balance — all vital for managing slopes and rocky trails.

🏠 Treadmill Walk/Run

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.

🏋️ Gym Workouts

Focus on cardio and leg workouts (like step-ups, leg presses, and cycling) to build endurance, prevent injuries, and improve performance on steep climbs.

⚽ Outdoor Activities

Engage in outdoor games like football, basketball, cycling, or weekend hikes. These improve agility, strength, and endurance in a fun, natural way.
