Stairs , stairs, stairs! That's the key for hiking and backpacking. Stair master will give you a false sense of confidence when it comes time to do your first 10 mile day with a freshly loaded pack! That or Try long distance hiking with a loaded pack (30 lbs minimum if you plan on doing anything 3+ days). However there are some fun stair activities if you can find a place to train...why not set the goal of hiking the equivalent of Macchu Picchu - throw on the tunes and get busy!
