Week One has begun!
Here's my plan for this week:
Monday, January 1
– Easy 3 mile training hike up Pilot Butte for sunrise on New Years Day (recorded on Strava).
Tuesday, January 2
– 20 minute low impact cycling ride on my Peloton
– Workout circuit + warm-up and cool-down
To get acquainted with the exercises, I did just one set with 10 reps of each exercise. With the warm-up and cool-down, it took me 23 minutes. Note that there are 10 reps of squats in the warm-up, 10 reps of squats in the cool-down, and however many sets/reps you do in the main workout… so a minimum of 30 squats. Just something to keep in mind. 😉
Wednesday, January 3
– 30 minute cycling class on Peloton
Thursday, January 4
– 30 minute cycling class on Peloton
Friday, January 5
– Week 1 exercise routine (planning 1 set/10 reps again) (~23 minutes)
Saturday, January 6
– Training hike TBD
Sunday, January 7
– Rest day
In Week 2 I'll hoping to increase the sets and in Week 3, add increase the workouts/week from 2 to 3.
Note that this is NOT a requirement, nor how you log your exercise or training hikes, but I thought it would be interesting to share what I'm doing, and hear what others are planning for their first week.
So what does your Week 1 look like?

Thursday: 5.2 miles, about 1,000 feet gained at Griffith Park in L.A. (with Sierra Club, very fun)
Friday: 12-weeks to Hike Fit Challenge Workout. (3 times) 1.4 miles at a very quick pace.
Saturday: Be a potato. Or 12-weeks to Hike Fit Challenge Workout if I'm feeling spunky.
