Rod, I definitely plan on adding stairs into my workout -- I can lunge my way across teh football field and then do the stairs.
I know that the best way to get into shape for hiking is to,,,hike! However, my fitness goal goes beyone hiking -- I want all-around balanced fitness. I see too many hikers ont trail that look sort of like Godzilla: they have monstrous thighs of envy, but their upper bodies look like emaciated old men -- that cannot be good for the overall well-being of the body. Ice climbers, and climbers alike -- such as Laura -- have the benefit of a full body workout during play, but I have to fill in that upper body with all the fake stuff
