Anyone following along? Let me know your favourite new move from this workout!
I am, thanks a lot for this! Would be great with one or two complements to have a full schedule for a week.
@@mattiasjakobsson7095 thats something I'm working on at the moment.... the question is, to keep them follow along style or not!?
@@ChaseMountains I think it was great to be able to do it within 30 minutes at home, but I would also be fine with a complementary routine for the gym that could a bit longer too.
@@mattiasjakobsson7095 yeah ive found that my clients that train at home love the follow alongs but those who go to the gym as well basically need separate videos for each exercise and a list to just tick them off once then know how to do the exercise correctly.
I see what you mean. If you recommend to do the current workout only once a week, a similar complement in the same style for at home would be great though.
I'm new here. Just rediscovered my love for hiking at age 49. My favorite move is the Hipless Birddog. One of the things. What I love about your content (that is different) is the goal to be strong, capable, injury-proof, and enjoy being out in the world instead of constantly telling me how many calories I'm "torching" or how much fat I'm burning or how good I will look. That other stuff is actually demoralizing and sets my compass in the wrong direction. Being mobile, functional, and enjoying where my body can take me and what it can do is so much more inspiring.
At 50 years old and a life spent lifting weights, backpacking, archery, and fly fishing I’m experiencing many aches & pains. Thru your videos I’m learning most of these are manageable thru strengthening supporting muscle groups. Not only am I feeling better and more energetic, but my range of motion has greatly increased. I can’t begin to thank you enough for sharing your knowledge so freely.
Oh - these strengthening exercises have had tremendous impact in running as well. They are not just for hiking.
I agree. At 64 years old and having been hard out active outdoors all my life (and never had a car! 😊), I am also aware of my body condition.
I am also a stage 4 cancer survivor! 😊 💖 🙆🏻♀️
I turn 65 in October this year, and I am aiming to attempt Te Araroa Trail here at home in New Zealand 🇳🇿 🙆🏻♀️ 😊.
I am finding all of Chase Mountains videos extremely useful for ongoing training for my regular tramping (hiking) and keeping my strength up for this. 💖 🌳 🏕️ 😊
@@GypsyGirl317 way to keep after it!!!! 💪
@@GypsyGirl317 Well done, keep going, all the best to you🌄🍀🌺🌸🌺!!!!
Yikes. This is so very challenging but CLEARLY building strength with each repetition. Great workout. I don’t really have a favorite, I dislike them all equally. 😉 I have my eye on the Pacific Crest Trail in the next 1-3 years (depending on how the Covid craziness pans out) and I’m so glad I found you. Greetings from the Pacific Northwest, USA. 🧘🏻♀️⛰🏕
PNW is the place to be so I hear! Welcome to the channel, happy learning and exploring!
I’ve decided I really like/benefit from the Quadra-ped hover. Wow! 🤸🏻♂️
I found your channel and have improved my foot / lower back pain immediately upon beginning your follow-along training. Been wearing orthotics for decades but since i started your exercises my collapsed arches have started improving and the orthotics now hurt more to wear them and i've ditched them. So i'll be transitioning into a barefoot shoe regimen now. I watched your convo with the CEO of Vivo and really am prepared now to do it the smart way. Thank you so much, as a dad of small kids, nearing my 40's, i value so highly my future ability to stay injury-free while 'chasing mountains' with my kids.
This is probably the best workout I've done so far during the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown. I come from a bodyweight background too (calisthenics) but I don't have a bar at home. Doing both workouts in a row felt pretty good. The beauty of bodyweight is the range of challenge you can have in each type of exercise
Thanks man, it's great to hear some feedback from the world of calesthenics. I appreciate the comment.
Thank you so much for this. I moved to the Lake District, Cumbria several months ago and have started walking every day for a few hours after work, but my body is struggling to keep up with my ambitions. Stuff like this that I can do during breaks from work throughout the day has been incredibly helpful.
From Australia here. Thanks so much for the videos. I loved this work out. Being almost 41 my body isn’t as flexible as yours but I still managed pretty well. Thank you. It’s great to have advice from real hikers who are training for what they love. Cheers!
Thank you! “When I am 64” which is now, training for a 600 miles PCT section 6 months from now. Grateful to find your channel. I have been doing most of these strength building moves but not SLOWLY and with iso pauses. So helpful for building knee strength I need. Metta to you!
Hope it went well and hope you’re doing well! Also Metta is an amazing practice❤️
That's a highly motivating mountain in the background. Where was this filmed?
It's perfect right! It's Vignemale in the French Pyrenees!
@@ChaseMountains I'm in Cauterets right now, just around the corner (:
beautiful
I am a 55 year old woman and can do all of these exercises. Nice and slow, really good! I feel my balance has improved a lot. I love hiking and have just started to wild camp so need to carry more in my back pack - I will keep doing the exercises to keep myself safe. Thanks very much!
64 year old woman here, and I completely echo your comments. 💖 😊 🙆🏻♀️
I can not tell you how much this has changed my physical well being, amazing job man!!!!!!
Oh an avid hiker who’s gotten a bit out of shape since covid, I fully appreciate this. (Hello from Canada! 🇨🇦)
Just came across your channel after recently getting into hiking. I have done 12 long day hikes in the last two months and in between them I spend the week sitting on my butt while working from home. I did this workout along with you and even the first circuit was tough for me, which tells me that I need to keep doing these to make my hiking experiences even more enjoyable. Thanks for the tips!
None of it's easy! If it feels hard you're probably doing it right!!
Wow! Thank you for doing this workout routine!
This was a really great workout, thank you so much! 🙆🏻♀️✨
Going from being sedentary, I've done this workout twice a month for the past four months, along with zone 2 cardio, trail-maintenance work, day hikes, and a few other exercises. When I started, I'd hit zone 5 every time I did this workout. Now I barely crack zone 4, and my EPOC is way lower. The only thing I can't do is pushups.
1:41 "We don't want you walking around in the mountains, all hunched over and tight like you've been sitting at a desk your whole life!"
Yep - that's me.
You've just inspired me in a way that I truly needed but didn't know I needed! Thank you so much! My dream is to become a health coach but I have such a love for hiking and the outdoors, I wasn't sure how to combine the two, but now I do, thanks to you! Thank you so much
I'm an out of shape desk worker about to do a 3 day hike with some friends. I just did this workout (beginner moves only) and I feel like I'm on my way to tackling the trail!
Loved this. Always done more high intensity stuff but I have dodgy knees from playing football and a rubbish back from sitting at a desk badly all day. I can already feel that this type of workout will help to strengthen my muscles where they need it and help me continue for longer without pain. Thank you! 🙏
I got lots more coming Adam! Enjoy!
After an MRI diagnosed "hiker's knee" several years ago and the pain continually worsened, I considered arthroscopic knee surgery last year until I found this video. I've been disciplined enough to do just as you've instructed in the video. I have used this video once a week for the last 6 months and not only have I gotten stronger but I'm also able to engage the small stabilizer muscles I haven't felt in years. My knees and legs are super strong now and I want to say thank you!
Hey man, gotta tell you. I was suffering from fatigue related pain on both knees. I followed some of the moves and now it's gone! My knees feel stronger even. I believe it's mostly the lunges. Thanks! Also, I admire your body stability!
will try this with my 10 years old daughter after we come back from school after the 5 tibetans. we just came back from the Italian Alps because she had one week holiday. unfortunately where we live is very continental flat no mountains or hills. but with this we feel like we are up there again......
I'm super excited to find this. I'm recovering from a herniated disc in my low back and trying to get back some strength for my first 4 day backpacking trip since the injury. I will definitely be incorporating this into my workouts. None of these moves hurt my back, the slow deliberate motions wake up all the right muscles. Also, the view is a welcome change to the common TH-cam workout video. Well done.
So glad to hear that! Hit me up on Instagram if you have it, I've got something I could share with you
This is one of my favorite workouts. I do this again and again
Love the video. Super beneficial and informative. I'm a personal trainer and just acquired a client who is taking the trip of her lifetime at age 69 and is giving me 30 days to get her in hiking shape!! Wish me luck 🙏🏽
Wow I've been doing so many other video workouts but this one I actually can feel, and feel good about it. So focused so slow I absolutely loved this! Thank you so much
Just completed it, my legs feel like jelly so have to sit down lol, training to hike Kilimanjaro so need all the leg work I can handle :)
All the best
Nice routine. Training for Mt Shasta this year this is very helpful! Thanks
I was in the United States Marine Corps where we hump (hike) out for 8 to 12 miles. I think the type of training you do would greatly minimize injuries as opposed to how the USMC does it. The biggest problem in military hikes is foot problems and shine splints. And its because of the boots we wear.
This is awesome! I am seriously considering your program! Excited to learn more. But I just finished this workout. WAY harder than I thought. I normally strength train with a good amount of weight, but these movements were so FOUNDATIONAL and very difficult. LOVED IT
I think this was the first time I’ve ever done a workout at home. This was very easy to follow and I really enjoyed the relaxing music. I had to take a break after the first part though cause it kicked me a little bit. Thank you for the wonderful video
I’ve been doing this for a couple of weeks now. As a 60 year old woman who thinks she’s reasonably fit doing horse riding I feel I need to do more to maintain fitness. I’m also going to be doing a charity hike beginning of June in Derbyshire UK for cancer research which is hilly but not mountains 😆
As I live in a flat area of the UK I think this routine will help me prepare. I found it easy to follow & varied enough not to get bored. I haven’t got the same flexibility as I used to have but hey ho keep trying.
new subscriber- I appreciate this workout. Planning to retire way early so I can escape the US, training for some long ass hikes- and needed this type of workout to round out my backpacking and cycling workouts. Keep them coming !
Really enjoy this routine. I'm using it as cross-training for marathon training.
I'm hoping the focus on functional, stable strength will dramatically reduce my risk of injury.
Thanks Chase, this looks fantastic. My first day doing your practice today. Its good to know where my weaknesses are. I’ve got 10 weeks before heading into the hills. This will help me enjoy my trip. I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Thanks for commenting on how often this circuit should be done. I really wanted a good shoulder workout while also opening up my hips.
From an Ironman triathlete; this is great!
I loved this workout - thank you! My favourite was the side squats.
woke up yesterday with stiff neck doing the table rocks somehow eased the pain and stiffness :).. 50 years old and can do these great stuff thanks will keep doing this workout with my usual exercises hiking lands end to john o groats in march
Great bodyweight training bro. Thanks heaps for the knowledge
Thanks. I feel great now. Instead of hiking I'm doing this in days I'm not hiking. I feel like, I can reach lots of different peaks now that I'm stronger.
I want to reach one lake in the mountains above 3.5 km level of sea. And I want to take a plunge in the freezing water of the mountain lake. It's about 12 km hiking to one point. Probably takes 12 hours, back and forth.
Great routine, there's so few videos for functional fitness specifically for climbers and hillwalkers. Scenery looks great too.
Regards from Scotland
I just started following because I've been training for the Camino de Santiago Frances route, (starting August 3rd) and I am having knee pain mostly on downhills. Your videos have been very informative. I have to be in better shape in the next 50 days. Thanks.
I really dig the bridge to L-sit - really improves rom and stretches the muscles. And ,,Don't force it" is an important lesson - too many people injure themselves by stressing their joints and tendons by doing things too fast, being unpatient and increasing weight, reps, etc. too fast aswell.
Thanks for sharing this is awesome 😎 love the body weight content 👍💯
Enjoy mate!
Thank you so much! I finally found the suitable program that meets my needs. Your programs have a tremendous impact on my workout style and life.
I'm really looking forward to exploring your Elements program as soon as I deal with all of your videos here.
So helpfull! Thank you very much
I haven't read through all the comments here so I don't know if my question has been answered elsewhere. I'm 68 years old and hiking (mainly day-walks) including in the mountains is probably my most enjoyable exercise. But, at 68 I find a lot of your stretches etc in this video too difficult for me. Do you have anything that might be easier for me, but would still provide the warmup needed. BTW, your knee exercises have been so helpful for me, especially after injury. Keep up the good work.
Try the “A Daily Movement Routine for Hikers” video. I do it every morning in addition to whatever workout I’ll do that day. It’s kind of like a hybrid yoga flow
Thanks so much for making this, friend! I just went through it for the first time to the best of my ability. I look forward to more!
this is absolutely beautiful and fluid. Loved that I found this channel. Training to climb all the Fourteeners in Colorado. This channel is gonna help with that for sure!
This would not only be great for hiking but… Rock climbing, skateboarding, running, etc.!
January 2021 and following along, great stuff Chase!! will include this in my workout, thanks again for the great content!!
Tried this workout for the first time today to see if any pains came up. I have tried to condition myself doing things I have done in the past at the gym building strength again. However, after doing this video I built up a lot of sweat which is good since I also am trying to burn fat as I get back in shape to tackle my solo trips. When I reached to the second half of the workouts I couldn't do them so I learned I need to build some body strength now and not always rely on being sore to see progress. I really didn't get out of breath much but it felt like a good aerobic workout definitely felt energized but I should practice these movements more, my previous routine involved running a mile as a warm up and trying to get my time down to what I used to run when I was in shape.
Great channel, fun bodyweight movement exercise
A godsend of a video. I went looking for a routine that was specific to hiking and that would also get me on the road to fixing my out-of-whack LPHC, and there you were. Thanks!
See ya next time 😉
Great workout and definitely wins the gold for best background to any exercise video!
Just did my first round of reps. Thanks for the inspirational video and the hand-out !
WOW. thank you thank you thank you. this is incredible.
absolutely love this video. such a pleasant narration style and the moves look really useful for what you described, you've got a new subscriber!
Gido you are most welcome! Thanks for your comment I really enjoyed making this one, the view might be hard to top but i'd like to keep them coming so thanks for joining us!
Thank you! I'm trying to get in better shape for camping and hiking. This is perfect.
Nice!
Getting ready to leave Cusco for the choquequirao trek - just completed the routine. Thanks.
Hello friend good evening
Thank you for great exercise
This was a challenge! Looking forward to improving and integrating this into my schedule weekly. Thanks Chase!
Warm greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩 this work out truly help me out before the hiking
Such an iconic view / spot on the GR10
great routine. just what i've been looking for; and, i'm just a dog walker.
Thanks mate, I was following along. The last one I find easy, but others I struggled. Not much arm strength 😅 really enjoyed it 🙂💪 so good for my hips. Will check out your other videos. I try to walk at least an hour each day and some overnighters away tramping, was a beginner for this kind of exercise. Will keep it up 😁 I'm 43 and in New Zealand, noticed my stiffness 😅👋
Yeah Bro, this is fantastic! 14:15 when you round your back, push the hips forward to the ground. That creates the gymnastic core strength. I connect with your solid approach in these videos. Really good stuff!
Thank you! I injured my knee hiking the prom in Feb 2020 and now I know why. I have another big prom hike coming up in 8 weeks and this is just what I needed :)
hmmm.. could be, but I have a few other videos specifically about knees you might like to watch
@@ChaseMountains Thanks yeah I meant your advice in general 😊 great videos!
This summer I'm going to be 52 and I am so out of shape I could barely get through the beginners exercises twice. I have lots of work to do!
Hi Chase, thanks for all your videos! I have enjoyed following this routine.
Wow that was a good one! Phew!
this is great! although I struggle with breathing a lot more than with strength (programmer with a deviated septum)
Not the gym but pilates is usually my go to. So some of the exercises were quite doable. Yet the push up on books completely killed me. Hahaha. A new goal is set: to be able to do that one! Thanks for all the insights so far. Mountains will be chased this spring! :)
Love the capoeira moves!! Great workout to start the day 😁
Really nice workout. I'm a decently fit guy, and some of the stuff was a bit challenging. Will definitely do each week! Cheers!
You can combine it with this one too if you like th-cam.com/video/Kz5JL8cxKh4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!!! Loved this workout and your explanation of things was very clear :)
Cheers man, loving it! Recently been getting more and more into bodyweight exercise so this is gold. Love from Sweden!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm posting another one this Friday so hang out for that! Peace!
That's the Vignemale mountains in the Pyrenees in France! There's a refuge there too! love it there :D
really nice workout chase! i will be incorporating it into my routine, i've been doing the "same bodyweight workout 3 times a week" for a while and really feel like i need to switch things up a bit. your content is really helping me do that :)
I especially liked the bridge to l-sit, the isometric l-sit hold was soo hard haha
Great routine! I'm a hiker since birth (practically grew up in the mountains) and I was looking for some new ways to get back in shape after my state examination and the lack of movement during study times. Thanks so much!
Yeah mate love thise routine, I'll include it daily on my hiking trips.
Completing this the second time, combined with your, sample training schedule is already showing results. Should be ready to complete Kili trek next year!
hells yeah man! thanks for letting my know! Glad you're getting results already on this :)
How do you know your getting results? Just curious
@@fy9526 Bob started training with me a few weeks ago, we did testing in the first week and we'll redo the same tests in a few weeks so we'll find out pretty soon!
@@ChaseMountains that's great, I'm planning to trek Kilimanjaro this year, not sure when's the best time to go? I think Feb would be too soon
You keep putting out such great content. Great work and thanks for sharing. ✌️
Oh this is awesome, feels like hiking😊
Have been doing it for three days but today came to the point when u said do different exercises each day, I will be going for a basic mountaineering course by the end of this month, could u plz guide me which videos to follow..
This is amazing! the knee pushup is by far my favorite! Thank you so much for this, i am nailing this tomorrow morning when im hitting the forest! I'll let you know how it went!
Stumbled across your channel today and I like your style. Stuck around for the bodyweight exercise session. Loved it. Keep up the good work!
loved your video. also the fact that you have shot it outside your studio, out in the wilderness..
Loved it. Thanks for making these videos. Where was it filmed? Loved the view!
I've found my new favorite strengthening video...I can't do any of the moves... but I'm enjoying the watching 😃
I know I’ve just watched the whole thing without doing anything 😀😂
@@Caffy73 LOL I would love to even get his warm up done! Thanks for reminding me about this video :D
That's funny I search for at home climbing workouts and yours popped up. I live in the valley next to the Vignemale... What are the odds!
I’ll be up front. I’m 6,0 and over 300 lbs it’s not as bad as it sounds but it’s the heaviest I’ve been. I’ve got plenty of body weight to use for these exercises and imma try them out. I’m a slighty more experienced than beginner hiker and I really need to focus on getting in better shape to enjoy my hobby more. Guess I’ll try em and see how I like it.
How did you do? Its certainly not the best place to start, I now got a 6 month process designed to lead up to this. I would check out my daily movement for hikers!
@@ChaseMountains Its super late right now I’ll be starting to try and begin a routine tomorrow but I will absolutely check out your daily movement video too. Thank you my guy! Also I really enjoy your channel. It’s super helpful, and the places you go are quite stunning.
@@ChaseMountains definitely sticking to the daily movements for now as those are really nice. The main issue I ran into with this actually ended up being that I’ve got some kind of bad issues with my two big toe nails right now(ingrown toenails.. gross) and it physically hurts to squat down on my toes like you do a couple of times in this vid. Likely need a doctor to look at my feet but that’s my issue to take care of I suppose.
I am going to try this out thanks.
Intended for climbers, the workout has a clear focus on pull movements, and hanging movements. lol, red thumb.
thought i saw Vignemale peaking out in the backgroud there :) shes as beautiful as ever
Very helpful video! Please visit the Philippines, we have a lot of mountains for you to explore 😊😁
Thanks!!!
