TFT66: Out Of The Box Training Ideas For Hikers


Listen Later

In this episode, I explore a few unusual workout ideas for hikers, who might be a bit bored with their usual workout routine. Sometimes following the same old exercise routine can get a bit dull. That is bad enough in day to day life. But with most hikers training from home at the moment, this is even worse. Because the variety of exercise has suddenly been dramatically reduced. And it is not surprising if you are feeling a bit uninspired... In this situation, you might just need a new challenge. A new type of workout to mix things up. To get the enthusiasm back. And to keep your training moving forward. So today, I explore a few 'out of the box' training ideas, which can mix up a hikers training, while at the same time be incredibly effective to get them ready for the trail. You will learn;
  • A piece of DIY workout equipment which can be incredibly effective at developing strength, endurance, speed and conditioning for hikers
  • A childhood pastime which can be a fantastic method of training for hiking
  • A simple 'primal' training method, which can be amazing for spicing up your conditioning and cardio training
  • A handy training method if you live near a beach (which can be a great way of preparing to hike in the snow!)
  • One incredibly versatile piece of equipment which might be worth buying and learning
