Mountain Trekking

I have started exercise training for a snowy treck up Mount Pilatus in the Swiss Alps. I have bought myself many items of exercise equipment including an exercise gym and and exercise DVD specifically designed for mountain climbers. I plan to go on this adventue in about a year so by then I should be very prepared physically. I am going to undertake extensive yoga and swimming training too to increase my lung capacity and focus. I do need new exercise mats though as my current one is a little moth eaten after so many years stuck in the cupboard. I shall take advantage of the mid year sales and stock up on everything I need.

I already have a whole library of exercise books to keep me going for the year and I have replaced my desk chair with an exercise ball. There is so much to consider when going on such an adventure and I will need to read further into everything else I will need. My exercise gyms going to get such a work out that I hope it doesn't fall apart on me! If it exhibits any signs of dangerous wear and tear, I shall have it looked at by a professional and fixed quick smart! I hope I don't pull a muscle or become ill while training as this could set back my progress significantly!

My expanding muscles may alter my clothing size so I should wait much closer to the departure date before purchasing extra thermal supplies. It will be summer here when I leave as I hope to treck in the northern hemisphere winter snow, so thermal clothing should be much cheaper then. I shall have a giant farewell party with all my favourite foods as I will be away for a couple of months so that will be a great night. No alcohol shall be consumed though as it could setback my training further and I would have to break out the fitness DVDs all over again!
