Hey Chicks!!<\/p>\n

This past weekend I was in Ottawa visiting Mama J and\u00a0the fam<\/a>, and I spent Saturday in one of my fave “gyms”\u00a0in Canada – \u00a0Gatineau Park<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Check out the vid below of\u00a0me and Sis’s 12km\u00a0trek and\u00a0some\u00a0healthy hiking tips \u00a0– chick style!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

note: when Sis is talking about “low-carb” she’s not advocating a crazy Atkins-style diet – she’s talking about a diet that gets carbs from mostly veggies, fruits and some whole grains – not from bad carbs that come in a box!<\/p>\n

Laura’s Hiking 100’s<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Get in 100 reps of upper body, lower body and core on your next hike!\u00a0 Four times during your hike, stop and do 25 reps of the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Walking lunges with an ab twist (try uphill!)<\/li>\n
  2. Tree Sit<\/li>\n
  3. Angle pushups (use a fence, ledge or just get down and dirty on the ground!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On a one hour hike, I try to stop and do these every 15 min and its a fun way to break up your hike, burn more calories\u00a0and get your strength training in at the same time! I also love trail running tabatas too but\u00a0have to be careful with all the roots!<\/p>\n

    Do you any extra exercises you like to add into your hikes?<\/p>\n

    PS –\u00a0 To keep all our chicks on track for holiday season, we are running our 2 week FIT CHICKS Bootcamp <\/a>starting Nov 29th so check it out!<\/p>\n

    Have a FABULOUS day!!<\/p>\n

    Your Head Chick, Laura xoxo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
