Good week at the gym. Hiked a Tracy Ridge trail in the ANF yesterday - 9 miles & 2500+climb with 38.lb pack in just under 4hrs. Last climb was a bit of a sufferfest. Left the truck at 0600 and didn't see a hiker until after 0900.
The hinge of my right hip started hurting about halfway. Need to find some stretches for that plus socks with more cushion.
Thats pretty dang good
I use this for my hips before and after hiking plus . Use a Rubber exercise band tied to something heavy, attach to ankle, face away and do 3 sets of 20 single leg/knee lifts, And finish with hip flexor stretch . Seem still help
