I know they have some epic hikes through mountains/jungle. Pretty sure if you do enough of them you'll be fine.
definatly for cardio anyways, if you have the time/energy to do some of the strength stuff, probably mainly core and upper body that could go well with it, but climb enough hills and your cardiovascular system and lower body be looked after.0 -
How about throwing a resistance tube in your pack, you can do lots of exercises that way, i.e. biceps and triceps, lateral raises, etc. Also, climb stairs if your hostel is a few stories, or find a place to stair-climb.0

You seem pretty set except for you have all kinds of pushing exercises but no pulling, you're not balancing your body, you need some rows/pull ups or something to balance yourself out.0

how could i do pull exercises on the go? any examples? i will have a resistance band so could do some with that but apart from a chin ups i am not sure what else...0
