This is not just a quote to look good on your Instagram or Pinterest account (even though I admit I have it on my Pinterest account), it is a fact. Hiking is not for everyone because you need to be prepared mentally and physically to be able to complete a hike, and every hike comes with its challenges. Don’t be a fool, some day-hikes even in the South of England can be tough such as the South Downs<\/a> for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the whole purpose of training for hiking: finishing the hike in one piece and not in a hospital. To avoid injuries, you need to focus on building your leg muscles. Those are the quadriceps, calves and hamstrings. Moreover, the most common accidents are ankle injuries. This is why it is also important to strengthen ankle muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid injuries, you can also use trekking poles. They help protect your knees by distributing the weight and improving your posture while walking on uneven or slippery terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And stick to it!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know you need to train before getting into hiking, so all you need is a training plan. When it comes to your training program there are 3 areas you need to focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
