As a mountaineer, it is important that one maintains a physically fit body and continuously improve their endurance. Since I started joining several mountaineering groups, I started to adopt their techniques on how they keep their bodies in tip top shape, tuned for their next climb or whatever outdoor activity they would engage to.
Running is always on top of their list, while biking and engaging in several sports activities are also part of their options. The important thing though is your chosen physical activities should most likely focus on the endurance and cardiovascular training. Strength training of course should also done in balance to maintain muscle power in order to carry your survival packs.
As I plan to continue to conquer more and more summits here in the Philippines and hopefully around the world, I'll need to prepare myself so I won't become a burden to my group and also so that I could also enjoy not just the summit but the climb itself. :)
