hiking muscles

   if your asking to find out which muscles to work on, all stomach muscles! the reason middle age men get bulges at the bottom of their stomaches is because most neglect the lower abs, to work these do sit ups with your thys pointing up and your calfs pointing away from you parallel to your body. hope this helps

	The exact muscles used depends upon your posture. Unfortunately the most comfortable way to hike is not always the best. Bio-mechanical efficiency can be improved with practice. It is usually more important to hike with good form. Ideally like jogging you would find a level of intensity which you can continue to hike for the whole race. Be wary of just working on 'hiking muscles' as this may well lead to muscle imbalances if sailing is your primary sport.

	use a hiking bench, do loads of sit ups and also a good excersize is to lay on your back, knees up as if your were doing a sit up, but lift yourself up with ur stomach but not all the way up and hold it, so your more or less doing a sit up with out sitting up properly...sorry im not very good at explaining!!! when it hurts your probably doing it right though!!!

	leg raises,russian twists(lie on your back legs straight in the air arms outstreched on the floor lower your legs from one side to the other keeping your shoulders on the floor.very painfull and difficult if you havent done them before!!)Do lower back excercises aswell such as back extensions to keep balance otherwise youll just get big ab muscles and your back will be weak.Also try incline sit ups ,theres millions of different ones you could do.
