The past two months my FB training has been built mostly around weekly hikes. I've felt sometimes like I let go of my strength training to be able to hike on Saturdays. For me this means I only can do classic strength training on Mondays and Tuesdays (one upper and one lower day), while doing cardio/bodyweight or active recovery on the other days, depending on how I feel.
In a way I felt llike I took a step back on my daily workouts, I'd have preferred more "normal" weight training. Yesterday I went on an amazing wintry hike and while the snow was annoying in places, I didn't feel my glutes, hamstrings or most importantly (for me) my hipflexors (which do a lot of work when you have to lift your leg out of half a meter of snow). Besides amazing view, this hike showed me that my approach is actually working and I do enough strength training to stay strong and healthy.
This is why I work out!
