What is it about?
This 6-week conditioning program, successfully launched last winter, consists of 7 day hikes and is designed to gradually elevate your body from your work chair and home couch up to 3900 ft above sea level.
Over the course of 7 consecutive Saturdays (Weekend Edition) or Wednesdays (Weekday Edition) you will progress step by step, rock hopping and log walking, from relatively easy to increasingly harder hiking trails, improving your fitness level while utilizing some of the most beautiful terrain in the Snoqualmie Region and Central Cascades area.

What did others say about this?
Wellness Through Adventure is the BEST! I had never hiked in the winter and snow before, and with Lidia's leadership and knowledge of the trails and equipment, I had a fantastic experience with a great group of fellow adventurers. It was so invigorating and glorious to hike Mt. Si blanketed in snow for our "graduation"! Thank you Lidia. ❤️

The Conditioning Program with Wellness Through Adventure is what I needed for my physical and emotional well-being. It provides necessary knowledge, skills, and camaraderie. Lidia Edwards, who leads the Program, chooses the places that are breathtaking. The hikes are challenging enough, however, with group support and checking on our state, everybody succeeds.
Lidia is a professional who brings physical activities to everybody who wants to be in a good shape and explore the beauty of the North West. The value it brings is priceless. It is worth A Beautiful Soul Reward (I just founded it). I have been to 4 trips with Lidia, and this is the best experience I have ever had!

[...] To get to some of these places requires determination, and perseverance, although many of the early hikes in a series, are mild. They start off gentle and progressively become longer with more elevation gain.
These hikes are a group effort, and require a helpful, "All For One, and One For All," attitude. Several of the people I've met as fellow hikers, have become dear friends and we socialize regularly off the mountains. They are kind, helpful, tough-minded, playful, smart, a bonus I never considered.
So... if you want to get in shape, overcome health issue, like my heart attack, get out and really see some of the most beautiful places in the world, and meet wonderful, like minded people, this is something you really need to look into.
To quote a late friend of mine who lived to be 100, "Honey, if you don't grow, you rot".
