Trekking is a sport that entails walking on trails to reach places inaccessible to most vehicles. Trekkers normally walk on trails, and seldom involve climbing over rough terrain. On the contrary, mountaineering means climbing over rocks and navigating rough landscape to reach the summit of a mountain. While these two activities are technically different in many ways, there are a number of risk factors that are common in both sports.
Trekking or climbing a mountain will expose you to falling rocks, avalanches, volcanic activity and precipitation. Whether you are a trekker or a mountaineer, it's safer to undergo rigorous physical training prior to climbing or mountaineering.
Both activities demand experience and athletic ability, as well as technical knowledge to maintain safety. In essence, the most indispensable things you must have before you begin your adventure are knowledge of survival techniques and physical strength to have the ability to take on the demands of staying in a natural environment.
Training Recommendations for Trekkers and Mountaineers
1. Exercises that Tone Your Core Muscles
Core exercises tone your core muscle groups, including abs, back and pelvis. Right now, core workout routines are trendy in most fitness centers and people sign up for these even without bothering to know why they are important. The concept behind these core workouts is not new, as fitness experts have known about these workout routines long before core workouts became the new yoga. Core exercises are meant for keeping your body functional more than making our body shapely.
Without strong trunk muscle groups, you're more likely to suffer from chronic back pain, lose your balance and fall, or be more prone to injury when doing other exercise routines. Once you are in the forest, you have to travel everywhere by foot so keeping your sense of balance is significant.
2. Dexterity and Upper Body Muscle Vigor
A strong upper body is needed for rope climbing, and hauling apparatus. Rock climbing workout routines are great for developing muscle tissues on the upper arm and hands. Performing endurance workout routines strengthens muscle tissues and prepares the body extended intervals of physical activity. Any exercise aimed at toning your arms and upper body needs something to offer resistance for your muscle tissues to work against.
Besides the skills of hunting, fire building and constructing emergency shelters, one should also take responsibility for his physical fitness in order to be more effective as a team member in a pack of mountaineers.
