Kokoda Training in Building Stairwells?

2/4/2016

Comments

 
Training in stairwells provides for a great aerobic workout and helps build and strengthen those important leg muscles. Vary stride length (2 steps at a time), alternate your leading foot, and wear a light pack to increase the challenge. For the super keen, add push-ups, lunges and squats at each flat levelled area. Keep clear of doors opening suddenly, watch your step, no injuries please!

Workout Goals Post Easter Treats

27/3/2016

Comments

 
How has your Kokoda expedition fitness preparation been impacted by Easter and the traditional feasting on hot cross buns, chocolate eggs, chocolate rabbits and other yummy things?

​I know my plan includes a two to three hour hilly pack hike tomorrow to make the most of the public holiday and to work off some tasty calories. Are you game to add up all the extra (yummy) calories you've had this Easter?

​For more information on how to prepare for your upcoming expedition, we have provided several pages of self-help information designed to help prepare you for your Kokoda trek.

​Comment below how you fared this Easter? ​

Smartphone Apps and Hiking

16/3/2016

Comments

 
These days there is a smartphone app for everything, and for us trekkers there are a number of great training apps for hiking. I've been using one for a number of years now called "Map My Hike GPS Hiking" by MapMyFitness Inc. It is just one of a range of apps all named MapMy.... with variants for running, cycling, dog walking, walking, and general fitness. Free and paid versions exist, for Android and Apple devices.

​I find this particular app helpful to help me track my progress by recording my workout time, distance, track by GPS, pace, elevation and other related information. This all helps me track my performance between different workouts to see if I am improving, and provide me with some benchmarks for later hikes. I can also see my routes and others nearby to try.

​I'm sure you have your favourite app that you use, let us know below in the comments.
