No one plans to go to Everest Base camp without some thought to their state of physical fitness. If they do, I can't believe that they would be very successful in their trek. That being said, although the path can be physically challenging, you do not need to be a pro athlete to tackle this trek. Obviously you need to be able to walk for long periods of time (up to 3 hours at a time) but you are really encouraged to walk sloooooowly.
As part of our fitness preparation we are using dog walks, treadmill walking (at highest incline), treadmill jogging, swimming and biking to help boost our cardio. Fingers are crossed that this will be enough.
