How to do it

1. Pick a trail and wear supportive footwear; carry water for longer outings.
2. Walk at a steady pace, shortening your stride on steep climbs.
3. Control your speed on descents by keeping your knees soft.
4. Log the distance covered and your total time.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Hiking from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
