Training For Mountaineering: Warming Up

In this video lecture, I explore how a mountaineer can create an effective, time-efficient and specific warm-up for their training sessions.

Warming up is a crucial part of the training. But it is rare to see a mountaineer who knows how to do this effectively.

On the one hand, there are the mountaineers who will do a quick jog, a minute or two of stretching and then feel like they are ready to train.

On the other, are mountaineers who end up warming up for 30 minutes!

And let me tell you right now, neither is a good option for a mountaineer.

A warm-up should be time-efficient, it should mobilise key muscles, it should be targeted specifically for your upcoming workout, and it should prime your body to perform at its best.

In this video lecture, I show you my simple 3 step system for warming up, which will tick all of these boxes and be an excellent option for any mountaineer.

 You will learn:

• Common mistakes I see from mountaineers warming up (don't be surprised if you are doing one of these yourself)
  
• Why going down the rabbit hole of endless foam rolling is not a good idea (plus a story how I made this mistake)
  
• My three-step system for creating an effective and efficient warm-up for your training sessions
  
• How and why mobilisation needs to be part of a warm-up (plus a few example exercises for mountainers)
  
• Why warming up isn't just about stretching (plus a range of exercises to consider after your mobility work)
  
• The often overlooked (but very valuable!) third step to a successful warm-up (which will ensure your body is primed and ready for the upcoming session)
  
• A couple of example warm-ups any mountaineer can use (for both strength and cardio workouts)
