Rolling out key areas such as the calves, thighs, and lower back can help alleviate soreness and enhance recovery.

Strengthens the leg: Hiking is considered to be a complete leg workout. Climbing mountains, and coming back, helps stimulate the glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves. Climbing mountains is not that much different from lunges and coming downhill. It works your glutes and quads by slowing you down against the force of gravity and your weight. To slow you down, your body tenses up the knees and hips to prevent a fall.

Glutes stretch: This is a great post-workout stretch. Sit on the floor, bend your left leg and place it over the right thigh. Place your right leg flat on the floor. Hold this position and pull both your legs towards the torse. Repeat the same on the opposite side.

Quadriceps stretch: Stand upright and lift your left foot toward the back. Place your heel on your buttocks. Repeat the same with your other leg. This is one of the simplest strech that you can perform in order to increase blood flow.

Low back stretch: Lie on your back and pull both your legs towards your chest. Hug your shins until you feel a stretch in your lower back.
