On Tuesday's class we were measured and fitted for our camping packs for our Hawaii trip. We had the length of our backs measured and then we were assigned corresponding backpacks. I got a green pack (my favorite color!) and then when choosing our day packs, she let the 21-year-olds go first, so I got first pick (I picked a green matching day pack of course). For the other half of our 3 hour class, we were working out in our hiking boots to the assigned workout routine we were given which included...
20 minutes of yoga
20 minutes of cardio
- Treadmill jogging at 4.6 or greater or walking 7.0 incline at 3.0 mph
- Elliptical manual resistance at 10
20 minutes of weight training
- 4 sets of leg presses
- 4 sets of calf raises with weights
- 10 step-ups per leg carrying 40 pound weights
- 10 lunges per leg
- 4 sets of shoulder presses
- 4 sets lateral pull-down
- 3 sets of 30 second wall sits
And we did it all in our hiking boots! Which apparently is nothing compared to tomorrow's class because we are going to be working out in our hiking boots again WITH BOTH our day pack and our large camp pack FULL with 30 pounds. She thinks we should simulate the actual daily experience of carrying our bags with us while hiking over lava, and walking for miles with extra weight. Hopefully we will all live to see Hawaii :)
