The best exercise for hiking is hiking

However most of us do not live next to hills and need to work out in a gym

So what would be one set of items I would own if I wanted to workout?
I guess it would be something that simulates a hike as closely as possible. 

As I get closer to my hikes, I reduce the workout and focus on a hike specific workout. The goals are simple, to simulate hikes. Sometimes I wonder if this is all I need to do.

So what is the gear for this?

  • Elevation training Mask - Set at maximum altitude
  • Weight Vest - 10 Kg
  • Ankle Weight - 3Kg pair
  • Arm Weight - 2 Kg pair
  • And stairs
And all I do is climb up and down the stairs for 30+ minutes without a break.
