I’m in! Got two beautiful training hikes in so far, and finally shiny up week 3 of exercises! Haven’t been submitting logs since it didn’t seem active. Nice to know someone else is doing the exercises!

Who else is with me?? I’m loving the exercise routine. I never would be hiking in January so I’m so glad I started this to keep me motivated for the year!

If you click on “workout plan” in one of those paragraphs you can click on “based on your fitness level.” That sends you to a breakdown of suggested sets and reps for different fitness levels.

Hi All, I’m wondering the same thing – how many reps/sets should we aim for for each exercise?

We are well into the 10th week of the 12 week challenge. How’s everyone doing?

As others have noted, the weather has messed with many of our hiking plans (no exception for me). I had to reschedule a planned 10 mile hike up Black Butte due to the weather.

My wife and I are both continuing with the strength training workouts, and sometimes…

Even in the San Francisco Bay Area, we’ve had some pretty unusual weather and many park closures. Our planned timeline to complete the two challenges we signed up for is definitely compressing. Wish us luck!

Here in Colorado the winter has been strong with a good amount of snow making it tough to do hiking. I’ve been going on walks instead. Is that acceptable until trail conditions improve?

I’ve also noticed feeling stronger. I zipped right up our local training hike Monserate Mountain with my backcountry pack somewhat loaded and felt it was the easiest it’s been. Although this last week due to work my exercise was cut in half. Hope to be back on track this week.

This program is great! I’ve been feeling stronger each week and can’t wait to finish out the second half of the program!

Started Week 7 strong with a six mile hike and I’m not even feeling that sore!

How’s it going for everyone else?
