Show Notes
This week, in our sixth mini episode of Ask Kris, we talked about how to improve overall fitness for climbing. I was actually a little bit confused about what "fitness" really meant, and Kris helped me understand what it is and how to gain more of it.
Here's what we talked about:
- What fitness actually is
- Specific workouts you should do to train fitness
- How I should train for my long-ass route project
- Who needs fitness?
- How a workout that has no climbing in it can improve your climbing fitness
All of the programs that Kris wrote for trainingbeta.com have a focus on overall fitness. He's a big advocate for creating great all-around athletes because he believes that strong people make strong climbers.
If you want 3 complete workouts every week to get you stronger and help you stay injury free, check out our bouldering training program or our route training program.
