Kilimanjaro Training Tips: Overview

Kilimanjaro Training Tips Overview

You will find many Kilimanjaro Training Tipson the web but most of them either overestimate or underestimate the Mount Kilimanjaro Hike and the training and preparation that go into it. We have articulated the most important training requirements that you must start practicing at least a month before your trek date.

Kilimanjaro Training Highlights

  • Try Aerobic training along with cardio exercises. We recommend to add this on our Kilimanjaro Trainingplanas these exercises meet the oxygen demand of the body and increase metabolism.
  • These light-to-moderate intensity activities likecycling, jogging,long-distance swimming, and walking are some varieties of aerobic metabolism exercises that you should try.
  • Strength training is another important part of your exercise regime in addition to aerobic exercise.
  • Some leg exercises are:
  • Front and Reverse Leg-curls (thigh muscle and hamstrings)
  • Lunges
  • Squats
  • Step aerobics

To build upper body strength we recommend you include the following exercises as well:

  • Back and shoulder flies
  • Kettle-bell rows / swings
  • Sit-ups
  • Shoulder presses
  • In our Kilimanjaro Training, we also recommend our clients to Practice Hikinga few times before the actual Mount Kilimanjaro Hike. This will help you experience the trekking feeling and make you accustomed to long hikes with a backpack and prepare your body for the hike.
  • Most importantly you require Mental Stamina especially on the summit night when you have to hike up and descent on the same day and you start hiking from midnight.
  • Strong will and determination will help you go a long way in achieving maximum Kilimanjaro Success Rate.
  • Pack the right gears for the trek and train with thesepieces of equipment for practice.
