"The Flux is better for all types of riding that I do. The stability and rigidity of the sail shape along with reduced drag provide obvious performance benefits when riding with power from the wing, but the improvement is just as noticeable during transitions and when flagged out wave riding." - Johnny Heineken, two time kite racing world champion & Pacific Coast wingfoil champion 2023

In a rapidly evolving sport like wingfoiling, the Flux V1 is your ticket to new levels of performance. Outpace the pack, soar higher, and ride waves with unparalleled freedom. With its incredible air speed and power management, the Flux V1 is designed to supercharge your sessions. Experience a level of connection that will alter your mindset and elevate your riding experience.

Ozone Flux V1 - At a Glance
The Ozone V1 Flux is a fast and efficient modern wing for riding in waves, progression and racing. Overall this is my favorite wing I have tested. The wing offers high upwind angles but also flags out for fantastic wave catching. The canopy of the Flux has more tension than older wings like the WASP V3 for better power per size. The Flux pumps onto foil more efficiently than any wing I have tested. The comfortable round handles easily fit in the hand. The handles allow you easily slide your hands into different positions. Flagging the wing out is easy and the hand patch under the flag out handle is good on the hands.DJ

Best Kiteboarding Pro-Creator Kiteboard 2014
The Pro-Creator is the definitive freestyle/wakestyle crossover board. It is team rider designed and has been tested and approved in the heat of competition.
The Pro-Creator uses the same Beech wood insert supports and UNI-D reinforced tape as the Profanity so you can go huge in bindings or straps. The CNC machined and laminated Paulownia wood core is wrapped up in a 100% uni-directional Pre-Preg lay-up and finished off with an impact resistant ABS Rail and Bullet Proof Bottom Sheet for minimum weight and maximum durability. The Supremo Wood Core and light weight top-sheet in the Pro-Creator means it can be up to 700 grams lighter than less advanced boards, making it one of the lightest competition ready boards that you can take into battle.
Originally developed for top secret aerospace applications Basalt fiber is now used in high-tech applications where its high strength, light weight and improved damping can be beneficial. Youll find Basalt fiber in windmill blades, racing yachts and of course in every Pro-Creator board. Basalt is eco-friendly, 20% stronger than fiberglass and provides more progressive and better controlled damping than carbon; so we can make our boards lighter and better damped than the competition. This season we added a little Rock to your board because we know how you like to roll.
The Pro-Creator 135 and 139 are the fastest riding, highest performing and most durable twintips that we know how to make and it is the number one freestyle board in the line-up. If you want to compete then you owe it to yourself to ride the best possible board. If failure simply isnt an option then you must ride the Pro-Creator.
Best Pro-Creator Kitesurf Board 2014
includes Footpads, Straps, Handle, Fins
Sizes: 135cm | 139cm
The Pro-Creator is designed to handle the power and deliver the control that our competition freestyle riders need. Built for use with boots the Pro-Creator uses Basalt Fiber Tec for damping control and an all new construction and outline that deliver insane pop, unbelievable upwind ability and exceptional handling.

The Santa Cruz 5010 Keeps Getting Better IT'S LIKE THE OLD BIKE, BUT WITH A LOT MORE HELL YEAH. Weight: 28.5 lb (L) Style: Trail Fork: 130mm Fox 34 Performance Elite Shock: 130mm Fox DPX2 Float Performance Elite Drivetrain: SRAM X01 Eagle Wheel size: 27.5 Tire clearance: Up to 2.8 in Material: Carbon The right bike for: riders who want a playful ride with the option to add wider tires for more technical trails
The new Santa Cruz 5010 is a lot like the older version, but more fun and more capable. It is longer, slacker, and more adjustable but retains the nimble, playful character that made it so enjoyable to ride. The 130mm trail bike has 27.5-inch wheels and excels at whipping around corners, jumping over obstacles or off of small jumps, and with the right set up, bombing down techy lines. Like most Santa Cruz models, it has an efficient pedaling platform that keeps pedal bob to a minimum when climbing. The extra length in front and more relaxed head angle make it feel stable when descending but it’s still maneuverable on tight trails and at slower speeds.
This new version of the 5010 that can accommodate up to 2.8-inch tires. Santa Cruz sells two versions of the bike. The standard one comes with 2.3-inch tires and the plus-size version (called WT, for wide tires) comes with 2.6-inch tires. Both versions will accommodate up to 2.8-inch rubber, though. A small mount on the upper link allows you to change the head angle and bottom bracket height so you can fine tune the ride for the terrain.
ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW
The 5010 has always been one of the better and more capable trail bikes and these latest changes make it even more versatile—and enjoyable to ride. Slacken the geometry and add wider tires for more traction and speed on rough terrain or stay in the steeper setting with narrower tires and swerve over or around everything you come across.

What’s New for 2019
To keep up with rider preferences (and the competition) Santa Cruz gave this 5010 a longer reach, slacker head tube, and steeper seat angle. The new version has a reach that is 15mm longer, headtube angle that drops from 67 to 66.5 degrees and a seat angle that goes from 73.8 degrees to 75.2 degrees. That’s comparing the old version to the new one in high position. But the 2019 model also allows you to spin the flip chip in the mount to go even lower and slacker. In that position, the 5010 bottom bracket drops 4mm, the head angle falls to 66.2 degrees, and the seat tube shifts to 74.9 degrees.
That chip is a new addition to this bike and a key to making it work with wider tires. Santa Cruz sells each model of the 5010 as a standard version or a WT setup. The standard bikes come with 2.3-inch tires and the WTs come with 2.6s. The only differences between the versions are the tires and rims. This XO1 model we tested has a Maxxis Minion DHF in front and a Minion DHR in rear. The X01+ comes with a wider Maxxis DHF upfront and Maxxis Rekon in the back.

Revolution is an indoor skatepark and climbing centre for Skateboards, BMX, Rollerblades, Scooters and all types of Indoor Climbing, located in Broadstairs, Kent, England. As well as having a premium Skate, Surf and Climbing shop, we also offer lessons, parties and a mobile skate setup.
Kents premier indoor skatepark since 1998
In the beginning...
Revolution Skatepark was first opened back in 1998 to cater for the large amount of Skateboarders, Inline Skaters and BMX'ers in the Thanet and Kent area, as well as reaching out to other skaters all across the country and even the world. Since the Skatepark opened over 16 years ago, many pro teams and riders have visited, including Chet Childress (above), Tim Brauch and Darren Navarette only one month after the Skatepark opened as well as many teams, such as Blind, Think, Venture, Death plus many more.
Revolution Climbing Centre has been open since December 2002 and so far offered a great climbing experience for all abilities and ages. As a late addition to the Skatepark, the Climbing Wall at Revolution has all the facilities needed to offer even the most talented of climbers a challenge.
Since the Skatepark and Climbing Centre was first designed, there have been many changes to improve it and keep it exciting. In the last few years we have created two new bowls, surfaced the whole street course, and even built an extension to the park with a brand new warehouse (below). The climbing centre is constantly changing its routes and adding new obstacles to keep the routes fresh.
We have always stocked a wide range of products in our shop, and due to the popularity of the sports the shop is constantly updated with all the latest items you will need, including a vast range of skateboarding products, inline skates, clothing and accessories, scooters, safety protection, climbing and surfing equipment.
Many of the staff here are dedicated surfers and keep up to date with what's going on in the surf industry. Pro surfer Ben "Skin Dog" Skinner is a friend of Revolution Skatepark and also co-produced some limited edition boards which we now keep in stock.
We are always looking at how we can improve Revolution Skatepark and Climbing Centre, making it safer and exciting for everyone to use.
All our staff are highly dedicated to their sports and are highly skilled at what they do. They are very patient and support the kids whatever sport they choose to do. All staff are CRB checked and First Aid trained for your safety and protection.

Pickleball is an emerging sport that is growing in popularity around the world. It fuses badminton, tennis, and table tennis, both indoors and outdoors.
To become a skilled pickleball player, you need to understand the fundamentals of the game and master certain shots. Here are seven essential pickleball shots every player should know:
The serve begins a pickleball game and helps position your team for an easy point. To hit the perfect serve, you must ensure that you are standing behind the baseline when you hit the ball. Please keep your eyes on the ball until it crosses the net. Must practice your serve so you can improve your technique and accuracy.
The volley is a vital shot that requires quick reflexes and precise movements. You should contact the ball when volleying as it rises above the net. Keep your racquet head up and try to hit the ball before you. Ensure that your feet are near each other and your body maintains balance.
The Overhead Smash
The overhead smash is a powerful shot that can end long rallies. To make an effective smash, you should stand with both feet facing the net and lift your racquet above your shoulder.

The Importance of Electrolytes in Running Performance
Electrolytes play a crucial role in supporting optimal running performance. When you lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement, your body undergoes significant physiological changes to meet the demands of this physical activity. As you run, your body temperature rises, and you begin to sweat. This process is your body's way of cooling down, but it also leads to the loss of essential electrolytes.
Electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, are minerals that carry an electric charge and are vital for various bodily functions. During running, these electrolytes are lost through sweat, and their imbalance can have a profound impact on your performance and overall well-being.
Sodium, for instance, helps regulate fluid balance and supports nerve function and muscle contractions. Potassium is essential for maintaining proper muscle function and nerve signaling. Calcium plays a crucial role in muscle contractions, while magnesium is involved in energy production and muscle function.
When these electrolytes are depleted through sweating, runners may experience muscle cramps, fatigue, and decreased performance. Maintaining the balance of electrolytes is essential for sustaining energy levels, preventing muscle cramps, and supporting overall performance during running.
In addition to their role in muscle function, electrolytes also contribute to maintaining proper hydration levels. Proper hydration is essential for regulating body temperature and ensuring that your cardiovascular system can efficiently deliver oxygen to working muscles.
In essence, understanding the importance of electrolytes in running performance is not just about preventing dehydration; it's about ensuring that your muscles and nerves can function optimally, allowing you to perform at your best.
As a runner, being mindful of your electrolyte balance is crucial for sustaining energy levels, preventing muscle cramps, and optimizing overall performance. In the next sections, we will delve into the common electrolytes and their functions, signs of electrolyte imbalance in runners, strategies for maintaining electrolyte balance during running, and electrolyte replacement options for runners.
Common Electrolytes and Their Functions
Sodium is a key electrolyte that plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance within the body. During running, as you sweat, sodium is lost, which can disrupt this delicate balance. This essential mineral supports nerve function, muscle contractions, and overall cellular function. In the context of running, sodium is particularly important for preventing muscle cramps and supporting optimal performance.
Potassium is another vital electrolyte that is essential for runners. It aids in maintaining proper muscle function and supports nerve signaling. This electrolyte is crucial for regulating heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and overall muscle function. When potassium levels become depleted through sweating, runners may experience muscle weakness, fatigue, and diminished performance.
Calcium is well-known for its role in maintaining strong bones, but its significance extends to muscle function as well. During running, calcium is involved in muscle contractions, making it indispensable for runners aiming to maintain peak performance. Ensuring adequate calcium levels can help prevent muscle cramps and support overall muscle function during running.
Magnesium is a lesser-known yet equally important electrolyte for runners. It is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production and muscle function. During running, magnesium plays a critical role in supporting energy metabolism and muscle contractions. Depletion of magnesium can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, and compromised performance.
Understanding the functions of these common electrolytes is essential for runners aiming to optimize their performance. By being mindful of the roles that sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium play in supporting muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy metabolism, runners can take proactive steps to maintain electrolyte balance and sustain peak performance during their runs.
Signs of Electrolyte Imbalance in Runners
Recognizing the signs of electrolyte imbalance is crucial for runners to maintain peak performance and overall well-being. When electrolyte levels become disrupted, whether due to excessive sweating, inadequate intake, or other factors, it can lead to a range of symptoms that can significantly impact running performance. Here are the key signs of electrolyte imbalance that runners should be aware of:
Muscle Cramps: One of the most common indicators of electrolyte imbalance during running is muscle cramping. When essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are depleted, muscles may become more prone to involuntary contractions, leading to cramping. These cramps can be painful and disruptive, hindering a runner's ability to maintain their pace and stride.
Fatigue and Weakness: Electrolyte imbalance can contribute to feelings of fatigue and weakness during running. When the body's electrolyte levels are not adequately maintained, muscle function and energy metabolism may be compromised, leading to a sense of overall fatigue and reduced muscular strength. Runners may find it challenging to sustain their performance levels and may experience a notable decline in endurance.
Nausea and Vomiting: In cases of severe electrolyte imbalance, runners may experience symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. These symptoms can be indicative of significant disruptions in the body's electrolyte levels, particularly sodium and potassium. Nausea and vomiting can not only hinder running performance but also pose potential risks to overall health and well-being.
Irregular Heartbeat: Electrolyte imbalance, particularly involving potassium and calcium, can impact the heart's electrical activity, leading to irregular heartbeats or palpitations. Runners may notice a sensation of fluttering or rapid heart rate, which can be concerning and may warrant immediate attention to address the underlying electrolyte imbalance.
Confusion and Disorientation: In cases of severe electrolyte imbalance, runners may experience cognitive symptoms such as confusion, disorientation, or mental fogginess. Electrolytes play a critical role in nerve signaling and brain function, and their imbalance can manifest as cognitive disturbances that can impair a runner's focus and mental clarity during their run.
Recognizing these signs of electrolyte imbalance is essential for runners to take proactive measures to maintain optimal electrolyte balance. By being attentive to these indicators, runners can adjust their hydration and nutrition strategies to support their electrolyte needs, ultimately enhancing their running performance and overall well-being.
Strategies for Maintaining Electrolyte Balance During Running
Maintaining optimal electrolyte balance is essential for runners to sustain peak performance and overall well-being. Implementing effective strategies to support electrolyte levels during running can significantly enhance endurance, minimize the risk of muscle cramps, and promote overall running efficiency. Here are key strategies for maintaining electrolyte balance during running:
1. Hydration Planning
Developing a comprehensive hydration plan is fundamental for managing electrolyte balance during running. Prior to a run, ensure adequate hydration by consuming fluids containing electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. During longer runs, incorporating electrolyte-enhanced sports drinks or electrolyte tablets into your hydration strategy can help replenish lost minerals and support optimal electrolyte balance.
2. Balanced Nutrition
Integrating a well-rounded nutrition plan that includes foods rich in essential electrolytes is crucial for sustaining electrolyte balance during running. Incorporate potassium-rich foods such as bananas, oranges, and leafy greens into your pre-run meals to support muscle function and minimize the risk of potassium depletion. Additionally, including calcium and magnesium sources such as dairy products, nuts, and seeds can contribute to overall electrolyte support.
3. Electrolyte Supplementation
Incorporating electrolyte supplementation into your running regimen can be beneficial, particularly during prolonged or intense runs. Electrolyte tablets or powders can be easily carried and consumed during runs to replenish sodium, potassium, and other essential minerals lost through sweat. This proactive approach can help prevent electrolyte depletion and support sustained performance.
4. Monitoring Sweat Rate
Understanding your individual sweat rate and electrolyte loss during running is essential for tailoring your electrolyte maintenance strategies. By gauging your sweat rate through pre- and post-run weight measurements, you can gain insights into the extent of electrolyte loss and adjust your hydration and electrolyte replenishment accordingly to maintain optimal balance.
5. Environmental Considerations

A soccer ball can look awesome, but if it lacks good response you're never going to fall in love with it. Your game really comes down to how well your ball performs. One trick you can do in the store to test a ball's performance is to give it a spin in the air. A well-balanced ball should spin smoothly. That will mean smooth sailing on the field. If you can, try it out. Try several of them until you find the one that feels just right.

The type of soccer cleats or indoor shoes needed depends on what kind of field your child’s team will be practicing and play on. Have your child try on Firm Ground cleats with hard rubber or plastic studs if playing on a pitch made of natural grass or on well-worn artificial turf. Look for Artificial Turf shoes with a super low profile and an outsole evenly covered all-over in small rubber studs for the best traction on an indoor or newer outdoor turf surface.

The Telstar 18, the design for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, is as close to a perfect sphere as you can get. It has subtle pimples and six thermally bonded panels designed to avoid knuckling, which is the characteristic bobbing and weaving movement when a ball is kicked without spin. All 32 teams have been able to play with it since November in preparation for the tournament, which runs from June 14 to July 15. But despite its similarities to the old ball, players have grumbled about the Telstar 18. Compared to the last few World Cup balls, the Telstar 18 is very similar to the ball used for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. It won’t fly quite as far down the pitch, and will wobble in the air a little differently, but aerodynamic testing suggests it will be more stable in the air overall.
Great replica soccer balls! My kids love them. So much so, they are waiting until the fall when their new season starts to "keep them nice." They are authentic Adidas, and even come with the FIFA reflective sticker to place once the ball is inflated. Side note: The balls do arrive flat, so make sure you have a good pump with separate gauge as not to over inflate.
Built for durability, recreation balls are made of soft synthetic materials for play on nearly any field. Typically, these balls are slightly heavier for beginner’s slower play, yet, competitors of all skill levels use these balls for practice and recreation on hard turf fields due to their resilience. Machine-stitching is the most stand-out visual difference between match balls and training balls and it offers a consistent touch for any player.

Hiking in nature is sure fun – nothing beats the feeling when you get to explore new trails. However, a lot of hikers set out physically unprepared and have their trips ruined by various injuries. Read on to learn how to do some basic ankle strengthening exercises and how to get ready for the trail while avoiding injuries at the same time.
If you’ve been worried about ankle injuries while hiking, you’re not alone. Many experienced hikers agree that the ankles are often one of the most vulnerable body parts, considering the rocky terrain and the extra weight on your back. Nothing ruins a good trip like a sprained ankle, right?
See also: Best Knee Brace for Hiking: Putting the Proper Support on Your Best Foot
The good news is that any possible injuries to your ankles – or to whatever else body part – shouldn’t stop you from hiking whatsoever! By putting in a minimal effort, you could easily get a strong body, suitable for any kind of trail.
Why are strong ankles important?
Setting out on a hiking trip without any type of psychical prep beforehand may not be the best idea ever. You’ll probably be doing yourself a huge favor if you invest some time in getting some strong ankles, as well as improving the overall strength of the muscles in your legs.
Strong ankles are especially important because that’s where most of the pressure goes during hiking, running or whatever other physical activity you’ll be doing. If there aren’t enough strong muscles to support you, an injury could happen at some point, leaving you not able to participate in your favorite outdoor activities.
On top of that, there’s this thing called proprioception – the ability of the human body to sense where it’s located in the space around it. If you work on increasing your proprioception, you’ll be able to control your body parts more effectively and limit the chances of injuries taking place.
Ankle strengthening exercises
Here’s a list of the most basic exercises that help strengthen your ankles. Most of them require no special equipment and can easily be done around the house. In order to achieve the best results, you’ll have to be diligent with your routine and work out on a regular basis.
To make sure you’re doing all of the workouts properly, it’s strongly advised you do them in front of a mirror, at least in the very beginning. That way, you’ll easily notice whether you’re doing something wrong while improving your body posture at the same time.
The calf raises is one of the most basic workouts you can do around the house even if you haven’t exercised in years. It’ll help you get stronger calves and at the same time, make you improve your overall balance.
It’s pretty simple and straightforward – all you need to do is stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and start lifting your heels while standing on your tiptoes. Start off slowly and aim to hold yourself for at least 10-15 seconds on each lift.
As you improve yourself, you can try lifting yourself higher and higher while extending the duration of the lift. For beginners, it’d be great to start off with 2 sets of 15 repetitions and work your way from up there. Each lift should last for around 10-12 seconds, though feel free to hold it longer if you can.
Squats/One Legged Squat
Doing some squats before your hiking trip is always a good idea as they will help you get better muscles in your legs as well. On top of that, the one-legged squats are an excellent choice when it comes to ankle strengthening, as they’re very simple and yet efficient.
If you’re a total beginner, it’s probably for the best to start doing regular squats first and once you get used to those, continue with the one-legged squats. In order to do the one-legged squats, you’ll need to squat with one leg in front of the other, stay like that for a while and then change legs.
Start without any extra weights and be careful – stop if you feel any discomfort in the ankles or the knees. Ideally, you’ll want to do 3 sets with 10 repetitions the first few times and then slowly increase speed and repetitions with time.
Pay attention to your back – you need to hold it neutral and straight no matter the type of squat you do. Basically, focus on working with the lower part of your body to do the squats appropriately – don’t just bend forward with your torso as any inappropriate practice could lead to injuries.
The grapevine is a great exercise choice if you want to work on your agility a bit. Agility is especially important if you’re hiking on uneven or rockier terrains where there are bigger chances of you stumbling upon something and hurting yourself.
The main goal of the grapevine is to run from side to side in a crisscross way while bending your knees, though if you don’t feel quite comfortable with that, you can first work on learning the steps before you move on to bending your knees as well.
You start off by crossing one foot in front of the other and then back behind as you move. If you want, you could move faster and get a cardio workout meanwhile.
It’d be good to begin with 5-7 minutes and increase time and speed as you get more comfortable with the steps. Soon enough, you’ll notice the difference not only in your ankles but in your calves and shins as well.
Tap downs are a terrific choice for improving the muscle strength on all of your lower body, all the way from the hip to the ankle. In order to do the tap downs, you’ll need to get yourself a platform, preferably at least 2 inches high; be careful if you choose to replace the platform with a random object from around the house, as that may lead to injuries.
For the tap downs, the first step is to get yourself up on the platform and place your hands on your hips; don’t forget to keep your chest open. Slowly start lowering one of your heels toward the ground while keeping your hips parallel. Your knees may get wobbly and feel weak at this point but don’t give up – it will go away with time!
Once you’re done with one leg, raise back up and switch legs. You can alternate between lowering both legs at the same time or choose to first do one set with one leg, and then switch – it’s up to you to find whatever works the best for you. Aim to do at least 1 set per leg with 10 repetitions if you’re a total workout newbie. For maximum results, go for 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
Resistance band workout
Including a resistance band workout in your exercise routine will do wonders for your stability on the trail and it’ll also protect your connective tissue from any injuries. Before starting out, don’t forget to pick a band that will provide you with the suitable resistance for your fitness level – most of the bands on the market are color-coded for easier recognition.
There are many variations in the way you can do this. One way to do it is to sit on a chair and wrap a resistance band around your foot while holding the band with your hands at the same time. Start rotating your ankle inward and outward while holding the same level of resistance with your hands.
This isn’t a challenging workout and almost anyone can do it. For better results, do this exercise daily and opt for at least three sets of 10 repetitions. When you start noticing improvement, you can start using a band with a higher resistance.
Jumping the rope is an intermediate activity for the most part. However, some may find it challenging and could need a bit extra time to get used to it. To get started, all you’ll need is a nice jumping rope – don’t forget to check whether it matches your height, as you won’t be able to do the exercise properly if it doesn’t.
There are various ways that you can do the actual jumping. You can do both legs at the same time, do some hops or if you want to take things up a level, jump to the sides with both legs. It’d be good to first focus on getting your balance right and working on not tripping the whole time – but don’t get discouraged even if you don’t get it right straight away!
For the absolute beginners, try and jump the rope for 1-3 minutes straight. There’s no need to rush – set a pace you feel most comfortable with the first few tries and slowly increase it. Once you master it, you’ll notice improvement not only in your ankles but in your posture, core, and abs!
Balance it out
Working to improve your balance will help you significantly on the trail and should be a key part of your ankle workout. Most of the balance exercises are so simple, you can even do them anywhere around the house or in the yard – some even prefer to do them on their lunch break at work!
For beginners, it’d be most suitable to start standing on one leg only. Try doing it for as long as you can but don’t expect to be able to do it for a big amount of time in the beginning – it’s definitely more challenging than it sounds! Aim to reach at least 30 seconds per leg and prolong the time as you start improving.
Balance should largely improve your proprioception and help you maneuver any trails in nature with ease. Once you start feeling confident enough, you can spice things up a notch and start doing all of the balance exercises with your eyes closed. For those of you more experienced, you can even try and spread your arms, though this is far from mandatory.
How to avoid injuries
There are a few extra things you can do to have a better hiking experience and minimize the chances of any injuries going on.
Pick your shoes wisely
The shoes you wear hiking can be either your best friend or your biggest foe. Setting out on the trail in a pair of worn running sneakers is never a good idea – do the investment and get yourself a decent pair!
For a better ankle support, choose hiking boots, as those go higher around the ankle and generally feel sturdier. However, some hiking shoe models could come with a decent level of ankle support, so think about giving those a chance. See our expert review of the top backpacking shoes to learn more.
If you’re going on a slippery terrain, pick shoes with a rugged sole so you’ll feel more secure. In the case you’ve ever had an ankle injury that sometimes flares up, you can give your ankles some extra support by wearing an ankle brace.
Get to know the trail
Knowing the trail you’re going to hike on can drastically help you prepare for any challenges beforehand. Try to look it up and see what the terrain is like and whether there are some riskier spots where you’ll want to pay some extra attention.
Even though being adventurous works great most of the time, don’t push yourself too much when it comes to exploring a new trail. If you’ve never hiked there before or you’re going hiking in bad weather conditions, it’s probably for the best to call someone to join you.
Bring trekking poles
Trekking poles are often overlooked by the amateur hikers even though they can be a true blessing not only for your ankles but for your knees as well! No matter whether you’ve had any sorts of injuries in the past or just want to improve your speed, they’ll be a great addition to your hiking equipment.
They come in handy for all sorts of terrains, though you’ll get the most out of them on downhills and slippery surfaces when all of the extra support is more than welcome. When used for climbing, the trekking poles lower the impact that would otherwise go to your knees or ankles and thus make the climb easier. For the top trekking poles you can use, see our must-read article on this.
If you’re worried about hauling some extra weight with you, do know that the trekking poles are designed to be lightweight and most of the models on the market are foldable, making them super-convenient for your next hiking trip.
Warm up & cool down
Many make the mistake and set off on a demanding hiking trip not only without the necessary psychical preparations beforehand but without a decent warm up. Even though it may not feel like it, hiking is a demanding cardio activity and you should treat it as such.
Start off your hiking trip by doing some basic cardio workouts to get your body warmed up for the challenges ahead – even a few jumping jacks before can make a world of a difference up in the mountains!
Once you reach your destination, it’ll probably be tempting to just sit down and just do nothing for a while, however, you could regret that decision soon. After each hike, it’s crucial to stretch so your muscles relax and your body has enough time to slowly cool down.
Stop if in pain!
Hikes and backpacking trips should be all about fun. Whenever you’re on a hike and you feel some sort of pain going through your ankle – or any other body part, for that matter – stop immediately and take a break. If you think you’ve somehow strained or hurt your ankle, sit down and lift your leg up, so any swelling can go down.
Some hikers may feel tempted to continue moving even though they’re in discomfort; however, remember that continuing hiking with a strained ankle may worsen up your condition and bring on unnecessary complications to your health.
If you’re feeling pain but think you’re strong enough to finish the trip and go back home, try and walk sideways – this works well for your ankles especially on steeper, downhill terrains.
Step up your game
Working on strengthening your ankles is strongly recommended, however, don’t forget about other body parts – legs, core, abs, and so on. Since hiking is a demanding activity, it’s important to try and be physically active at least 2-3 times per week so you get to be in top shape all the time.
On top of that, planning for healthier meals both on and off the trail will drastically improve your game and allow you to feel lighter and faster on the trail. Go for meals that are high not only in calories but in nutritional value as well and that will provide you with all of the necessary nutrients throughout your trip.
Last but not least, remember that all of the results you’ve been hoping to see take time. Great results don’t just happen overnight and building up muscle strength is definitely not easy. As long as you’re persistent and don’t give up on the first couple of tries, success is almost guaranteed!
