I was curious to see how many of you weekend hikers keep up a regular exercise program throughout the week. I do a mixture of weights and aerobic activities at a local gym 4-5 times per week and find this helps out INCREDIBLY with endurance and stamina on a long hike. I had to quit the regimen for a few weeks last year while recovering from surgery and when I hiked after that, I noticed a big difference (negative.)
Any of you out there have any experiences to share?
