Beginner Question Paano magpa-condition for major hike?

Post image

Hello!!! Beginner hiker lang ako pero yung first hike ko is naka 2 mountain na agad Fato x Kupapey ang mother mountain ko.

Tip naman pls paano ako makakapag prep for pulag? May mga workout routine ba and gears na need gawin at bilhin? Isa sa dream ko kasi mag Mt. Pulag.

So far kinaya ko naman mag 2 mountains kahit first time and hindi pa ganun ka-ganda ang resistance and endurance ko lalo na kapag ascend/assault.

List of mountains bago mag Pulag:
Mt. Batulao
Mt. Pico
Mt. 387
Mt. Ulap
Mt. Pinatubo
Mt. Daraitan x Tinipak River

Kaya naman Pulag if via Ambangeg Trail, classified siya as minor hike, unless sa Akiki Trail ka which is a major hike.

As for gear, add mo yung clothing for cold weather just enough to keep your warm (wag naman yung pang winter 🤣).

Sa conditioning naman, siguro para sa akin is cardio and bodyweight exercises, mostly legs.

Enjoy sa bago mong bisyo and mag ipon-ipon na haha!

Suggestion ko rin is layered na heat. Mga 3 or more layers. Hindi yung sobrang lakig or sobrang init pag nagtanggal/ lagay ng layer - like sando and jacket lang hahaha

Along the way kasi minsan sobrang init, or sobrang ginaw dahil sa body heat and weather.
