The more physically prepared you are for climbing Kilimanjaro, the more enjoyable experience you will have. If you’ve signed up with World Wide Trekking, that commitment will often help motivate you to train more. You might go on more hikes, take longer walks, etc. You want to be able to be on your feet hiking for a long period of time. Endurance is key. When training, you should focus on endurance (being able to hike for hours at a time at a nice, slow pace). You also want to focus on strength training (especially your legs, arms, and lower back). You should try adding a weight on your back (10-15lbs) to get used to hiking with a backpack on. Similarly, wearing your boots and other gear during workouts is a good conditioner for what to expect on the mountain. Lastly, work on cardio. You want to be comfortable with an elevated heart rate at a high altitude.

I haven't climbed Kilimanjaro but i have climbed Mt Kenya anf about 70 other mountains. To hike uphill with a large pack you should focus on developing core strength first. This will help minimize back injuries and is where all your POwer is going to come from. Then focus on glutes, thighs and shoulders. Long distance hikes or runs at a moderate pace will increase mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cells) in the muscle. You should incorporate anaerobic activity such as sprints or sudden bursts of speed. You may have situations that require vertical climbing where you may need to get through it quickly. One day I'll be able to climb it too.

Very useful advice all round. Upper body strength is important to develop as you will need it for things like simply getting out of your tent in a morning/ going to the toilet in the night. I trekked Kili a few years back and this is one of things I recall most not having trained enough for, especially once I got above 4000m. Endurance is definitely the key thing, as summit night is likely to be 15-20 hours non stop. I still managed to summit, the view is well worth the effort.

Thanks for your comment, Julian! Congrats on your summit success!

2:19 Correct training for hikes is focused mainly on your legs and your glutes, because these are the main muscles used for hiking. The biceps curls are unnecessary because you the biceps is only negligibly used during hiking.

Body squats for legs and out with a pack when able with bottles of water spread round to spread weight (1 ltr = 1kg) then you can dump some if it gets heavy to far from home.....if you have all your kit in pack you cant get rid..
