I try to get in one fitness walk a week (4-6 brisk miles - inside or out), and I hike in the summer. I've noticed that my hips, hamstring, and IT bands are much happier with me when I do this.

It is a struggle to do this during riding season however for I really want to be on my bike. The mountain biking/camping helps, for I will ride in the morning and hike in the afternoon, or vice versa depending on weather. It really is a struggle to get this done outside of my camping weekends though. I need to get better at this in 2012. I can't run, and my legs need something different to do outside of riding and weights!
