If she cannot head out for hiking, she tries to mimic those conditions on the treadmill by setting it to the highest incline and walking at a speed of somewhere between 3.2 to 3.7 mph with a 3 or 5-pound dumbbells in her hands. Sometimes, she extends her workout after completing the hike and employs a couple of resistance bands and other props.

She usually goes for the squats and lunges combo done over 3 sets with each set comprising of 25-30 reps.
