HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE?
Not climbed a Mountain before? Don't worry, you don’t need to be an athlete to enjoy mountain climbing in the UK, but a reasonable level of fitness will certainly enhance your experience. Here are some key points to consider:
Basic Fitness: You should be comfortable walking for several hours at a steady pace. Regular walking or jogging can help build your stamina.
Strength and Endurance: Some strength in your legs and core will be beneficial, as mountain paths can be steep and uneven.
Cardiovascular Health: Good cardiovascular health is important. Activities like brisk walking or using a stair climber can improve this.
Flexibility and Balance: Flexibility and balance are also helpful. Stretching exercises and yoga can improve your flexibility and balance.
Mental Preparedness: Mental resilience is key. Being prepared for a challenge and having a positive mindset will help you enjoy the climb.
