Hiking is one of the most rewarding things a senior man can do — but showing up at the trailhead undertrained is a fast way to turn an adventure into an ordeal. The good news is that getting trail-ready doesn’t require months in a gym or extreme fitness. It requires a smart, progressive training plan that builds the specific strength, endurance, and balance that hiking demands. In this episode, we walk through exactly how senior men should train for hiking: the exercises that matter most, how to build up gradually, how to choose appropriate trails for your current fitness level, and how to take care of your body before, during, and after a hike.
