The Power Of Training For Hiking

I LOVE to talk about how powerful structured training for hiking can be. 

However, sometimes I wonder if people get a bit sick of my voice (or words) repeating the same old things...

So today, I want to share someone else's perspective. 

And below, you can find some kind words from Summit Strength graduate Michelle about just how effective a personalised and structured training program can be:

"My initial goal was to improve my general fitness and confidence in hiking. To be able to tackle longer and more complex hikes without fear of injury or failure due to lack of fitness. 

Rowan made sure my individual circumstances were forefront in developing a training regime: existing injuries, time constraints due to balancing shift work and family life, accessibility. 

I couldn't be happier with my results! 

Knee pain and weakness that has plagued me since my early teens is now, basically, non-existent. 

I can now manage hundreds and hundreds of stairs without any cracking, popping, or shaking in my knees. 

My ankle mobility and hamstring flexibility have markedly improved, and the shoulder discomfort that has bothered me over the last few years has all but disappeared, because Rowan's program has enabled me to build up strength in it without using incorrect exercises and movement patterns. 

I can't recommend them highly enough. I have every intention of signing up for a second round of training this year. My self-confidence and abilities have grown so much since commencing this program."
