So something a little different we don't get to talk about too much is staying in shape for the trail. How do we get to the point where backpacking and hiking is super easy? I have no clue. :) But I do know that having a basic level of fitness is good way to start. I outline my Planet Fitness beginner workout which is a blend of cardio and weight lifting. I do this for 3 days a week and try my best to stay as active as I can the other days. Trust me, if I can do this anyone can. Check out Karate Josh's channel-
