If the sole goal is to look good, then the best way to do that is to do what bodybuilders do: go through a bulk phase (gaining muscle), and then a cut phase (losing weight/fat without losing that lean muscle you just put on). Some of those dudes barely do any cardio.

Once upon a time I could pack 25-30 miles in a day on the AT with a 60 pound pack.
My goal this summer is to get to the point where I can do 5-10 miles on the AT with a day pack without feeling like a heart attack is imminent.
Baby steps.
