Week Six - Fitness Plan

Week Six: If you have not already done so, go out and buy some good hiking shoes (hopefully you’ve already done this and you are breaking your shoes in nicely).

Do at least one 3-4 mile walk or hike this week. Go farther if you can.  One great idea I’ve seen is that the 5th Ward has organized a hike from Ensign Peak to the Bountiful temple this Saturday (the 15th). It will take most of the Saturday to do it, but what a great way to get in shape together.

Continue with your Cardio and/or strength training 3-5 days a week. Make sure that it is intense.  Your heart rate should be going over 140 beats per minute and you need to sustain that for at least 30 minutes.

We are halfway there to the trek since we started our training. Keep it up! And if you haven’t started, it isn’t too late! This week it is important to decide what shoes you are going to wear to the trek (or buy some new ones) and make sure you are using them for some of your activities. See this post on choosing good shoes.

Keep working hard and if you have input or encouragement for others please comment here!
