The Kid Hiking Pack Workout II

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have a lot of trails opening up just in time for the warmer weather! This is awesome, but if you have little ones it’s pretty important that you’re ready to actually haul them around when the time comes. I would know, if you don’t prepare for things you get to come see me as a patient later in the summer! As of today, I have a 28-pounder and a 40-pounder. And they both get tired if we hike for long. So I’ve got to be ready to cart one of them around on uneven terrain, and that takes preparation! Also, they think it’s hilarious when we do these workouts, so they’re also just for me to get a workout in while keeping half of the terrorists contained.

You all liked the original Kid Pack Workout, so I made this one for some more variation. It’s basically a major butt burner, and definitely a challenge to make sure you keep proper alignment of your hip-knee-ankle hinges to stay safe and stable. If you have any concerns about your stability or your kid is a mover and shaker, use trekking poles!

For this workout I wore my S’more Please shirt. If you absolutely need one too (why wouldn’t you?), you can find them here.
