Get Ready to Own the Trail
Our Hike Fitness Program
Our 8-week program is designed to maximize your season outside with quick, 20-30 minute workouts that pack a punch.
In just two focused phases, you’ll build the strength, endurance, and confidence to hit the trails without worrying about your body keeping up.
It’s for the hiker who only wants the view at the top to take their breath away.
Why This Program?
There are two reasons why this program is a no-brainer.
1. We use our proprietary, time-tested system, The Adventure Ready Model, which is designed to hit all the areas of fitness needed for hiking. We hit all the areas of fitness: The 5 S's of Strength and 4 S's of Cardio. There are no random workouts here!
2. The personalized support. Our previous participants were SHOCKED by how much support they received. From personalized mobility, custom mileage goals, and equipment recommendations, I’m here to help you get the MOST out of this program.
Inside our 8-Week Program You'll Get
Personalized Intro Assessment
That personal support I mentioned? Your first day, you’ll complete and record a series of movements that will help me understand any movement limitations we need to address.
We’ll set up a follow up phone or Zoom call to set specific hiking goals and work through any previous injuries to set you up for success!
Weeks 1 - 3: Build Strength
You’ll get 3, short and highly focused strength workouts that are only 30 minutes long. They can be done at home with no additional equipment (you have all the things in your house!)
You’ll also get cardio-based workouts each week that hit all 5 aerobic zones. Again, these are no longer than 30 minutes!

The Most CRUCIAL Week of your Training: Deload and Recovery
This is the secret-secret sauce of the Adventure Ready Model.
We're going to reduce your workout volume to allow your body to adapt to the changes we've been making.
Weeks 5-8: Build Strength- Endurance!
This is where I show you to PROGRESS the workouts as you get stronger. There’s no guessing about where you’re going.
Did we mention that all these workouts are follow-along? Our clients love being able to put the video on their TVs or phones and jump into the workout.
You get a break-down of each exercise before you start, so you know what you’re doing, even if a move is brand new.

“Did the 8 week hike prep course before tackling the West Coast Trail July 30-Aug 5. So glad we did the course. Alecia brings great energy to the workouts and it made our trip that much more enjoyable being stronger and better prepared!”

FAQs
Question:
How are the workouts delivered?
Answer:
The workouts are delivered through our app, Fit by Wix. Strength workouts are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, with a Bonus Workout on Thursdays.
Each workout has two options:
1. A full follow-along video of the workout (if you like that extra motivation!)
2. A written breakdown of the workout with video demonstrations of each exercise.
Question:
Do I have to do the workouts on the scheduled days?
Answer:
Nope! If your workout schedule looks a little different than what we have in the hike program, that's ok. You can complete the workouts on the days that make sense for you.
Question:
What equipment do I need?
Answer:
You Need:
1) Added weight. These can be dumbbells, a barbell, a sandbag, or your cast-iron pots and pans.
2) A step (10,12 or 14 inches), and a space for yourself. This can be a step on your staircase, a sturdy chair or a stool.
3) Resistance bands of a few different stretchiness. Sweaters or leggings work GREAT for resistance bands :)
