What if any cardio increase in 1 week

Normally a fat-burn heart rate under 75% max is done a few times per week. If this increase is possible (albeit minimal increase) what would you suggest as the best methods to improve cardio the most with only 1 week to prepare? The activity they would be preparing for would be hiking on a steep incline with a heavy pack or climbing stairs with the same pack for 15 min bursts at a time.

Be sure to rest and recover adequately before the event. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --
