Default I'm also back, and now some new goals...

Going to the Grand Canyon with the bf in about a month, and we're going to hike while we're there. I think we're going to do a 6 mile hike (we'll see how we feel), and I started training to get ready for the vacation.

I joined the gym right by work, and I'm working out 5 days a week (resting on the weekend, mostly).

Here's what my workout looks like:

Monday-cardio day, 45 minute interval training on elliptical

Tuesday- 20 minutes cardio, bike, lifting chest, back, hamstrings, quads

Wednesday- cardio, 45 minute interval training on treadmill

Thursday-20 minutes cardio, elliptical, lifting biceps, triceps, glutes, calves

Friday-45 minutes interval training bike, then treadmill.


Anything else I should be doing to prep for this hike?

Welcome back here.

Try doing walking lunges, around a room, across a parking lot, across the lawn, and see how long you can do them for (60 seconds, 120 seconds or whatever works best for you) and rest a minute between each set.

Well, just got back. It was by far the most strenuous hike that either him or I had done. We only could do 3.2 miles; we were at 8k feet above sea level and we got super winded.

I hiked every other day there, with some much easier hikes, all around 3 or so miles.

I think Adobe also has a batch converter.
