In this episode, I explore a number of exercises which I see commonly recommended to hikers, which I strongly believe you should skip.

You will learn:

• The single most overused (and overrated) exercise in the fitness industry (and why your trainer always asks you to do them)
• When a hiker should consider using jumping exercises (Hint: it is not when you are trying to improve your endurance)
• A few exercises a hiker should leave to the bodybuilders
• The two most useless core exercises for hikers (plus three alternatives which will give you MUCH better results)
• The old school leg exercise which isn't worth your time
• A fun piece of training equipment which probably isn't helping you on the trail
• My views on Bosu and Swiss balls for hikers
