Hey all,

Just popping by as I've been lurking in the forums.

I'm doing an endurance challenge which includes kayaking, cycling and climbing a mountain in the Lake District in June so trying to get fit for that.

Total gym noobie but hoping a strict regime will help. Anyone that's done something similar before who has tips would be greatly appreciated.

Take care and keep going!!

    That sounds awesome! I did a two-month trip years ago that included hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and rock climbing. The most useful things to prep were, in order:

    1) To spend time doing those actual activities. Build up the mileage and the skills.

    2) General endurance work. Running, biking, etc.

    3) Lower body strength, especially the muscles that stabilize knees and ankles. Free weights are better for this than machines.

    Good luck!
