We can regulate the intensity of trekking, increasing and reducing the pace of ascension and descent and choosing more or less demanding routes.
But, in addition, we can prepare our muscles, adapting our organism to take full advantage of our mountain trips.
When descending we mainly work the quadriceps, while when ascending we use hamstrings and buttocks fundamentally and ‘pull’ of kidneys so it is important that in addition to exercises to strengthen the legs, tonify well the middle or abdominal area.
