Length

8 Weeks

Plan Description

This program is designed for individuals who are not currently participating in regular exercise training. The overall goal of this plan is to introduce the individual to structured exercise training and to build a foundation of endurance and strength that will enable them to complete more rigorous goal specific training in the future. Those who already exercise train more than 3-4 times per week should look at our more advanced exercise training plans to accomplish their specific goals.

This plan is perfect for those wanting to transition back to training after a long break or for those looking to tackle their first 14'er in Colorado during the summer or a similar climb or hike. All strength training sessions are designed so that they can be completed with minimal gym equipment. Emphasis is placed on getting outside and running/hiking to build solid training habits. Once instilled, these habits will enable you to tackle more difficult training regimens in the coming weeks and months. In a sense, you are "training to train."
