Core Training For Hikers
Core Training For Hikers
Most hikers are aware (in general) that core strength is important.
I am sure there is not a single hiker out there who hasn't been told at some point to 'strengthen their core'.
But most hikers out there are unsure WHY this can be so beneficial. And beyond that, many hikers' approach to this type of training isn't the most effective...
So to help with that, this video goes into core training for hikers in a bit of detail.
It covers:
*Why training your core can be beneficial for hiking
*A slightly different approach to core training, which can be incredibly useful for your time on the trail
*Three of my favourite core exercises for hikers

      Doesn't always have to fall into this (as lots of people don't use the nose too much, even when their breathing is controlled). When I talk about it, it really just falls into the category of the breathing getting 'uncomfortable fast' or you having to take gasps to catch your air :)

Hi I am training for 17500 feet trek in month of November solo without porter (-20 degree at top and anticipated backpack weight is 11 kgs to 12kgs. ) my weight is 60 kgs. I have 6 months to go. Currently I carry 10 kgs and brisk walk 5 kms. I am doing this since last 2 months - 5 days a week. What changes do you suggest in my training. I also do power yoga 5 days a week 1 hour in morning.

    If I use a 40-50 pound pack which is the weight of my Mount rainier climb and a training hike I do is 8km round trip with 1200 meters of gain, is this a muscular endurance hike ?There are no repeats it’s just one big uphill climb.

  • @bxmario
    @bxmario 6 місяців тому

    Thanks for these awesome videos! I’m 6 weeks out from my first somewhat high altitude climb 13500ft/4100meters. I’m also using it as an excuse to get in good shape. I also realized if I was 10lbs lighter, it would be easier so for the first 3 months I was focused on heavy strength work especially in legs and core. Now for these last 6 weeks I’m doing very little strength work and going to try to loose 1.5lbs a week, increase running and hopefully keep my strength. I like the points you bring up I think key is a ton of vegetables and quality protein while cutting weight. Lastly that last week before the hike I’m thinking a lot of rest only 1 or 2 runs 5 miles or less

    Hi Rowan, thanks for the info. I heard one of your podcasts re: picking one strength routine and sticking to it for 3-6 weeks, without switching it up, just adding more resistance over time. Today I've been watching some of your videos and it looks like you're recommending this work out once per week. So then, would I do the Sequence training a few times per week but then add the muscular endurance workout once per week? Am I following? I don't have a climb coming up soon. Next one is maybe a year out. So I have time for gradual improvement. Thanks.

    • @summitstrength3312
      @summitstrength3312 Рік тому

      Hey Molly! So there are lots of different ways you could structure this into your week. But one good way could be doing this workout once a week, and a different strength based workout once a week. And then repeating those workouts for 3-6 weeks (and progressing the difficulty each week). And then after that, choosing some new workouts and repeating the same process. That can work well enough!
