[QUOTE="Madis, post: 1203142, member: 100078"] Physical therapy and mobility stretching are great. Main focus needs to be a daily step amount that you can easily deliver every single day. If you can manage 5000+ steps daily these months before the Camino then you will be golden for 9km/day. If 5k steps is too much then at least do 1k daily and gradually move up. Consistency is key here. Too much distraction on the non-walking related stuff and over doing it with the preparation will invite injury. Take it modest and keep the focus on the walking. I do not suggest weighted walking or weightlifting either. If you walk for and hour or more then you will already feel that your body is getting a lot of workout on its own. Adding weights to the mix might destroy your knees. Rather spend more time in Physical Therapy and stretching to increase mobility. Good mobility will help with posture and balance. Slow easy and relaxed walking at a low heart rate will help you build up a lot of capacity to do the Camino. It also helps you build a sustainable calorie deficit without causing hunger. [/QUOTE]
