Hillfit: Strength is not about selling you a book. It is about an approach to improve your time in the outdoors, making it safer, easier and more fun.
Getting stronger is the most important thing you can do for your fitness as a hillwalker / hiker / backpacker. Hillfit:Strength explains why and shows you how to get stronger with a set of exercises that are simple and safe.
- Simple – There is no need for a gym or any equipment. The exercises are easy to learn, gross body movements. It might only take 15 minutes a week
- Safe – exercises are selected to minimise risk and keep the body in natural positions. The last thing you want is for your training to injure you. It is no use doing “functional” exercise if you cannot function afterwards.
Hillfit: Strength is a plea for those who enjoy the outdoors to invest a little time in this simple set of exercises and to get stronger. It will transform your experience in the wilderness and improve your health.

I am 62 years of age & relatively fit although over the years I’ve had some back problems usually resolved by physio. Over the last year I have been doing more & more walking especially in the hills & I WANT TO DO MORE. I’m thinking ahead to retirement & the possiblitity of doing some of the long distance trails. Is the book suitable for my age? Thank you.
Definitely suitable for you Ashley.
