Physical Conditioning:
The better your physical condition, the more you
will enjoy the trek. You do not have to undergo
a rigorous training program. Just do as much
walking as you can up and down hills, up (and
down) stairs in your office or home. Jogging and
cycling are useful training for a trek. Whenever
possible, make your hikes in the same shoes that
you will use for the trek. You must remember
that you are going on a hiking trip among the
highest mountains on earth. The hills are steep
and you may be traveling in hot weather, in snow
or in rain. You will often be tired, and you
must be prepared for this. However, anyone in
good health can complete a trek if you hike
slowly, and spend a little effort now to get
into good physical condition. |
