Above 50 and above 5000 even 14 kg is far enough to carry, take a Yak, shave him so you don't have to bring your sleeping bag!

Agree. With this method, apart from the environmentally friendly approach, there is the added bonus of the ticklish yak hair on your skin.

My mother lives in a assisted living , her daily routine is walking 7km every morning, she is advised by the nurses to walk perfectly fine if you do right. Trekking is available to anyone, you just have to be sensible and train for it!

Agree. If you can walk, and you are in reasonable health, AND you take it easy, trekking is available to everyone.

If you can walk 15 km in about 4-5 hours in varied terrain carrying the load you plan to take, and feel like you could repeat it the next day, you are good to go. No need to do any special exercises. I have osteoarthritis and am 10-15 kg overweight, and still can do treks and keep up with just about any standard trekker.

Agreed with Petrus Walk / Jogging would be best option
