Hi, I'm Anneke — CSEP Clinical Exercise Physiologist (MSc) and owner of 2x4 Coaching in Duncan, BC. Evidence-based coaching, in-person and remote. 🏃♀️🚴♀️
These 3 exercises changed how my legs feel on the trail. They actually target what hiking throws at your body: single-leg stability, eccentric control, and load tolerance.
Save this for your next trail prep — these are so much more effective than regular leg days. Drop a 🥾 if you’re prepping for a hike right now!

Imagine trying to hold a perfectly still pose while someone gently pushes your shoulder. Now imagine doing that for six hours straight.
That is exactly what your core and hips are doing under a 20-lb pack. Your postural muscles aren’t just moving you forward; they are fighting a relentless battle to keep you upright. It’s a constant fatigue that drains your tank before you even hit the first big climb.
This is why general gym work often fails on the trail. In my training programs, I teach you exactly how to build this load-specific capacity. We focus on the precise details of stability and endurance so you can stop grinding the miles and start actually enjoying the adventure. 🏔️
Waiting for the pain to stop isn’t a plan — intentional movement is how you actually rebuild 🛠️🔥
Helping you turn a “maybe one day” goal into a confident “I’m ready” is why I love what I do so much!
The biggest benefit of VO2 max testing? The right training zones.
Most people guess their intensity, but lab-precise zones ensure you aren’t pushing too hard on easy days or wasting effort when it counts. Knowing exactly where your aerobic base, threshold, and power sit can save you months of stalled progress.
When athletes ask if it’s worth it to stop guessing and start training with actual physiology, my answer is usually yes. 🏔️📈
