[QUOTE="aspenbugle, post: 676742, member: 6481"] I think folks have answered most things well already. However, what I'd add is don't just do cardio - sure you need the aerobic workout to get ready for the work/altitude...but do some leg muscle workouts too. I think it is in a recent Bugle (RMEF) article: do lots of lunges and squats, starting with just your body weight. I've regularly been doing several miles running on the treadmill, and my first day of lunges and squats kicked my butt - you'd think I hadn't been working out. You need strong legs to go with those lungs and lunges, squats, stairs will prepare them more than just treadmill running. [/QUOTE]
