Hiking
Muscles worked: .
How to do it
- Pick a route with real elevation - hills are what turn a walk into training.
- Add a loaded pack once the route alone feels easy.
- Take shorter steps on the climbs and keep the effort steady.
- Control the descent; downhill is where the legs take the beating.
- Log the total minutes moving.

Logging it
Logged as minutes with a built-in stopwatch. Cardio pays cadence and streak progress, not records.
Track the hiking properly
IronPack logs every set, tracks your records at every rep count, shows these form photos mid-workout, and turns the training into a card game you play with your mates.
