Welcome to Weighted Wednesdays-a social way to get in some mid-week training. Each week we will demo some strength exercises as well as find some hills and stairs to climb with weighted backpacks. The purpose is to gradually train your body to carry your full backpack weight.
This is also a good opportunity to trial shoes and see how your backpack feels over time. We always welcome any backpacking/hiking questions.
Please check and bring your headlamps (Part of 10Es)
If you just want to come for a walk…that is fine too.
