💧Hydrating and Feuling on Long Hikes 🥯

Long hikes feel a lot better when you fuel like they matter. Hydrate early, replace electrolytes, and snack consistently so you have steady energy instead of crashing halfway through.

A little preparation can mean fewer cramps, better endurance, and just generally a more enjoyable experience on the trail!

Save this for your next long hike, and comment your favorite hiking snacks ⤵️

Knee pain when hiking downhill? ⬇️🥾

It’s not “bad knees.”

When you hike downhill, your quads are working overtime to slow you down (eccentric loading).

If your body isn’t prepared for that control → your knees take on more stress.

The fix isn’t just getting stronger, it’s building control + stability 👇

Start with:
• Step-downs → Lower slowly, don’t drop
• Split squats → Control 4s on the way down, not just the push up
• Wall sits (bilateral or single-leg) → Keep even pressure through your whole foot
• Single leg RDLs → Don’t let your knee cave inward
• Ankle mobility → Drive your knee forward without your heel lifting

Trail tip: Take shorter steps and stay slightly forward

Your knees shouldn’t dread the downhill, so try training for it and feel the difference!

👉 Save this for your next hike

🥾 5 Tips to Tie Your Hiking Shoes for Comfort & Injury Prevention

Whether you're hitting the trails for a short hike or a long adventure, how you lace your boots or trail runners can make a huge difference in comfort, stability, and preventing pain 👇

1️⃣ Lock in your heel
Your heel should feel secure with minimal slipping when you walk uphill. Try a “heel lock” (runner’s loop) at the top eyelets to prevent friction and blisters.

2️⃣ Keep the midfoot snug
Focus on even pressure through the middle of your foot. This is where you want the most support—snug, but not tight. Think “secure hug,” not “circulation cutoff.”

3️⃣ Give your toes room
Your toes should be able to wiggle freely. If you feel pressure or numbness in the front of your foot, loosen the lower laces slightly—especially for downhill hiking.

4️⃣ Adjust for terrain
Going uphill? Slightly loosen the forefoot and tighten the ankle for better push-off.
Going downhill? Tighten overall (especially midfoot) to prevent your foot from sliding forward.

5️⃣ Re-tie during your hike
Feet swell as you move! Take 30 seconds to adjust your laces mid-hike to avoid hot spots, numbness, or unnecessary strain.

🧦 Bonus: Choose the right socks
Skip cotton—once it’s wet, it stays wet and increases your risk of blisters.
Instead, go for merino wool or synthetic blends that wick moisture and regulate temperature.
Your socks should feel snug (no bunching!), with a bit of cushion but not so thick that they crowd your toes.

Your body should feel supported—not restricted—on the trail.

🥾Hiking season/wildflower hunting season is upon us!!🌼

Getting back on the trails, even as a seasoned hiker, sometimes requires a little extra warm up especially at the start of the season. Get you hips, ankles, shoulder and spine feeling loose, mobile and ready with the following:

- Ankle Circles, 10 per direction per ankle
- Standing Hip CARs (controlled articular rotations), 5 per direction per side
- Deep squat rocking, 8 per side
- Deep squat torso rotations, 8 per side
- Scapular circles, 10 forward/backward
- Standing clam shells, 8 per side

Give this routine a try in the parking lost at your next hike and see how good your body feels out on the trails!

One last piece of advice:

START HIKING SLOWER THAN YOU THINK!

If you have any big hikes you want help to start training for, let us know and we can get you trail-ready with specific routines that benefit you.

Strength. Power. Recovery. 💥

Creatine is one of those supplements that just works. It is one of the most researched and safest options out there, and it helps your muscles produce energy more efficiently. That means better strength, more power, improved recovery, and even support for brain function. Whether you are lifting, training for something specific, keeping up with your kids, or simply wanting to hold onto muscle as you get older, creatine helps your body do what it is designed to do.

For women, especially during perimenopause and menopause, creatine becomes even more important. As estrogen declines, muscle mass and strength naturally decrease at a faster rate. Bone density can shift. Metabolism changes. Creatine, especially when combined with resistance training, has been shown to support lean muscle and improve strength and overall function during this stage of life. It is a simple, evidence based way to protect strength and resilience long term.

We carry Metagenics Creatine UP at both Momentum clinics because quality matters. It is clean, easy to mix, and something I feel confident recommending to patients who want to stay strong for the long haul.
