You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Aerobic fitness is a key factor of a comfortable trekking experience; if your body is used to physical exertion, you will be less likely to suffer from exhaustion or injury.
Once or twice per week, try a longer workout to prepare your body for longer distances.
In addition to your aerobic conditioning, use strength training exercises to tone your muscles before your trekking.
At least once or twice per week, make a point to include hills in your daily workout.
Plan several weekend trips to an area of high elevation to get an idea of how your body will react.
Aim to eat a healthy diet, get adequate sleep, and keep your body moving without exhaustion.
