Preparation Guidelines

Get moving with active cardio exercises like aerobics, walking, running, cycling, and swimming during the week leading up to the event.
Designate the day before the hike for some well-deserved rest—give your body a break from intense exercises.
Amp up your hydration game at least two days before hitting the trail.
Make sure to prioritize a good night's sleep before the hike.
Boost your energy reserves by upping your carbohydrate intake two days prior. If you're into intermittent fasting or on a diet, take a one-day break around the hike.
Trim those toenails—your feet will thank you later!
Fuel up with a hearty breakfast at least three hours before the event. This ensures your body has time to digest, providing the energy you need without making your stomach feel too full.
Take a pre-hike bathroom break at home to minimize pit stops during your journey.
Prepare your mindset for self-conquest. Remember, hiking is 90% mental, 10% physical prep. Once you conquer your mind, the rest is a breeze. You've got this!
