Itinerary:

Good fitness improves your health and makes hiking / backpacking more enjoyable.

Start at the level you are comfortable with and work your way up (just remember it's supposed to be training so it ought to be a bit tougher to do). Really, really good training (good cardio) for your hikes/backpacking trips to come or just to improve your overall stamina. Better to train (aka suffer) now and enjoy the trip later!

In the span of an hour, we will complete the circuit oh, maybe about six times . As is customary, we'll head to a pub after for refreshments (beer, juice or water, it's up to you! Protein and yeast after the workout is always good for morale and is the real reason why I do this heh) and to get to know your fellow members better (this bit is a bonus)... which makes it more fun doesn't it?

So come on by and have a great time!

This is excellent conditioning for elevation on hiking trips...
