The more fit you are from the outset, the more you will enjoy your hike. The best way to ensure this is to keep up a routine of cardio exercise 3-4 times a week for 3 months leading up to your trip – take the opportunity to get out a few times with weight in your backpack with your hiking boots on; if you live in a city, find a nearby park, or simply climb some stairs repeatedly.
Try and get out on a few weekends prior to your trip to walk on some uneven terrain on a local trail, get used to using your backpack, break in your hiking boots, and practice packing your belongings.
Hiking in the Newfoundland backcountry can be strenuous and challenging, its best you come physically prepared!
If your are unfamiliar, or ill-experienced hiking and navigating in the backcountry, it might be best to hire a guide!
