I also did a lot of long uphill hikes, keeping a low heart rate and increasing the weight in my backpack every week.įor the past six weeks, I have been doing a lot of jumping workouts in the gym to build some explosive power and also running up short running hills pulling a tire. The training process started with exercises to stabilize my muscles, joints, and ligaments with two sessions per week of strength in a gym (squats, deadlifts, abs, pull-ups, push-ups).
