TFT24: Specific Workouts For Hikers And Trekkers


Listen Later

In this episode, I share with you some very specific workout routines which a hiker, trekker or mountaineer can use to improve their performance on the trail.

Today we are diving into the specific training methods you can use in your preparation, to get you 100% ready to conquer your adventure. So if you are looking to improve your endurance, strength or speed, you will know exactly how to do it!

You will learn:

  • Two incredibly effective ways to develop your muscular endurance (and defeat the dreaded 'leg burn' when going up elevation)
  • A couple of slightly unconventional ways of developing maximal strength (which doesn't involve lifting a single weight!)
  • A sure-fire way to improve your walking speed (so you never have to worry about holding up the pack again!)
  • A brutal way of training your mental strength (which barely anyone in the world will have the stomach for... but is a good option to get you ready for summit day!)
