How to Prepare for the Hike

1. Engage in active cardio exercises such as aerobics, walking, running, cycling, and swimming among others the week prior to the event.
2. Set aside the day before the hike for resting–take a break from exercises
3. Increase your hydration at least two days to the hike.
4. Purpose to get enough rest the night before the hike. 
5. If on intermittent fasting or on a diet, take a break in the period one day before and after the hike.
6. This way, you will build up your energy reserves for the arduous task ahead.
7. Cut your toe nails!
8. Have a generous breakfast at least 3 hours before the start of the hike. This ensures that most of the food has been digested by the time you begin the hike, giving you the much-needed energy while ensuring your stomach is not too full for comfort.
9. Use the bathroom before leaving the house to reduce the need for bathroom breaks on the commute.
10. Set your mind up for conquering yourself. Hiking is more about your mindset than physical preparation. Once you win the battle in your mind, everything else contributes less than 10%. You can do it!
