In this episode, I explore my simple process for upper body training for hiking. In the hiking world, upper body training is not a big priority. However, saying this, it does not mean it is not important! However, when it comes to upper body training, I see so many hikers wasting their time, who are spending way to much time and effort, into areas which are not really that important. So today, I explore my simple training system for upper body training. Which will ensure a hiker gets all the upper body strength they need, with the least time commitment necessary. You will learn;
- Why upper body training is important for hikers (particularly if you are carrying a heavy pack!)
- How hikers commonly waste so much time and effort in their upper body training (Hint: you are not a bodybuilder!)
- Three things a hiker needs to include in their warm-up whenever doing upper body training
- My simple process for choosing upper body exercises to train (which will ensure you are hitting all the relevant muscles, in the most efficient way possible)
- How to program upper body exercises into your workouts (so you make the best use of your precious time)
