I have found the best exercise for building leg strength to go up mountains, it is stair steps. I use the bottom 2 steps, step up to second step with leg, then step back, do left leg double steps 100 times, then right leg double steps 100 times, then 100 left, then 100 right, over& over again. Takes me about 1.5 hours to do 1000 double steps. This is a serious workout that builds leg strength from foot to hip

Great tip! I imagine you can eventually start adding weight with a pack as well to increase the intensity. 1,000 double steps doesn't seem like it needs more intensity however.🤣

To Mark from Mark. Great intro video. I wish I had your training scenery. My wife and I are headed to Arizona to try some winter day hikes. No overnighters, because we are still wondering what we are capable of doing with our advanced years and medical challenges. This adventure will help sort out our limitations. Thank you for making this video.
