Training program - what to expect

 

Here is what you can expect during your 12-16 week training program:

 

Your structured program will help you gradually develop your fitness and skills specific to high altitude trekking. Programs are customised to suit individual needs and fitness level.

 

During your first, mid and final weeks, your coach will assess your fitness level through benchmarking. Bench marking is very important as it allows you to track your progress over the weeks.

 

Every week, you will undertake a personal training session with your coach at Primal NRG Fitness. This hour long session will primarily consist of strength, endurance and mobility drills. You will ideally do 1-2 general class sessions to supplement your PT session.

 

Once a week, your coach will accompany you on an outdoor session, including fortnight day hikes at a National Park to condition your trekking fitness and strength.

 

Proper nutrition is crucial during your training stage. Proper nutrition provides you with the necessary nutrients to recover and to energise your body. Your coach will review your eating plan and help you make necessary changes.

 

During these 12-16 weeks, you will develop transferable skills in the areas of goal setting, accountability, discipline, teamwork, and consistency.
