Cardio

Cardio raves up heart rate, as a result of which our body starts utilizing stored glucose, i.e., glycogen; hence, giving the body energy to perform more tasks at hand. 


Note – Only doing cardio for hours and hours will release the glucose and the fat from your system; after that, it will weaken muscles. Hence, we should mix cardio with strength training. 

Strength Training 

It helps to build your muscles fibres in bulk. Strength training helps in toning muscles and improving core strength. As a result, muscle power improves.

Mental Endurance

On a trek, maintaining harmony is necessary. If height scares you and walking long distances make your legs shiver, practice breathing exercises and meditation. These will significantly help you in controlling your senses. 

Moreover, the most common problems during a trek: Ankle Rolling and Ankle Sprain. Both of these can be prevented by practising balancing exercises. 

Now that you know about it, hit the floor and get ready for the spiciest experience. These exercises ensure your all-around fitness.
