Recumbent muscles and backpacking
Are the muscle groups used in recumbent riding the same as those used in
backpacking? Seems I read it was the gluts and the hamstring muscles. It would be great if one sport would augment the other. |

But there's a fair amount of overlap. It would be great if one sport would augment the other. For aerobic conditioning, clearly they do. For long uphills while backpacking, think gearing and cadence,-- taking smaller steps at somewhat faster pace may get you up the hill when longer slower steps will wear you out. Sustainable power output works better for me than the hike-stop hike-stop mode of up-hill hiking. Jon |
