Training:
We believe preparing for your trip should be an anticipated and enjoyable part of your WorldWide Trekking experience, as in the months prior to your adventure you’ll find that training not only prepares you physically for the challenges which may lie ahead, but also puts you mentally in the adventure and enables your anticipation to build. It’s well-known fact that a prepared adventurer gains a greater sense of enjoyment due to their mental preparedness and improved physical conditioning.
We recommend joining a gym, as a membership will help motivate you to exercise and being around others will stimulate the intensity of your workout. For all of our trips, we suggest wearing your loaded daypack and hiking boots to give a more realistic feel to your training.
Get out and hike. Dress in your trekking clothes, throw your pack and boots on, and get out and walk. Find an area with trails and hills so you can get out on some uneven terrain and simulate what you’ll be doing. This is a great way to get familiar with your trekking poles, daypack, and footwear, and also to experience how your clothing systems will perform.
