Friday Night Hikes
Friday Night Hiking Fitness
BEGINNERS HIKING FITNESS series 75 mins
Our 75 minute hiking fitness sessions are on local suburban bush tracks in Lindisfarne and Geilston Bay. Learn to love your local green patches and discover 101 “cut throughs” or – little know side tracks and explore your community. There’s always a hill – so you will get fit for longer walks with these short sharp sessions. An unexpected benefit of these walks is they make you leave work on time on a Friday – you walk and talk and are home in time for dinner – totally refreshed and ready to start your weekend.
Bring your:
- back pack and coat
- hiking poles if you have them
- and a drink
We will learn how to use relatively short tracks to gain the fitness you need for longer adventures. This is an all weather event, and the walk start location will change from time to time, but we will always be in Lindisfarne or Geilston Bay.
When:
Fridays 5.15-6.30 pm x 6 weeks
Our 75 minute sessions Jo will get you hike ready for bush walking in Tasmania and over seas. Whether you need fitness for hiking long day walks like a Tasmanian Iconic Walk or multi day walks, at sea level or at altitude Jo Cordell-Cooper will help you improve your hiking fitness

Over a 6 month period jo supervised my training for an endurance walk. As I have a fairly unique body the goal of walking 25 km in a team was initially daunting. But bit by bit I got stronger and more capable. I learned how to prepare mentally as well as physically, and nutrition on the day and leading up to the event was addressed too. Having this goal inspired me, and I loved having a challenging event to look forward to knowing I was well prepared for it. If you have a challenging event coming up I highly recommend Jo to get you HIKE READY!
