Training Program For 14er’s & Long Hikes

"My husband and I love the mountains and can’t wait to explore more and for greater lengths of time. This summer we have a big trip planned to go overnight hiking through Glacier for several days. We have not done anything like this before, or at least I haven’t. We try to eat healthily but exercise hasn’t always been the most consistent due to LIFE! However, we know our bodies need to be better conditioned to accomplish our adventure goals and bucket list of trips. This training program came along at the PERFECT time for me to achieve this. I have been trying to work out but always need help with direction and knowing WHAT to do. I can get on an elliptical but need help on the rest. So far I am LOVING this program. 3 days a week is perfect and doable. I appreciate the gradual increase of difficulty to allow my body to build up endurance. I have a shoulder injury I’m dealing with, but modify when I need to and keep going. Only I can make myself stronger to conquer the trails and I’m so thankful for this program to help me along that journey."

"I signed up for the Training For the Peaks program on an impulse after receiving Jenny's 4 week Training Plan for Beginners and liked what I saw. I had been very inconsistent with my training after a 3 year period of minimal activity. I would start training too hard and fast and then become frustrated and slack off. After a gorgeous 6 day backpacking trip that was totally miserable due to me being so out of shape, I knew I needed something new to try. Jenny's program was just what I needed to help me get back on track. It has really helped me to start at a slower pace and do exercises I've never done or focused on before. Which made them actually fun and challenging. I already feel much stronger with more focus on core exercises and my endurance is quickly improving with more regularly scheduled cardio. Jenny's blogs and videos have helped keep me motivated. I love her energy and she has great information and ideas. I have started planning ahead each week for the days I can do my workouts on so I don't have any excuse to skip them. I am now totally excited about the summer and looking forward to the hiking trips we have planned. Mostly because I know following this program will have me in great shape!! I would highly recommend Jenny's training program to anyone who is new to hiking and also to experienced hikers/backpackers who need to train ahead for an upcoming hike/backpacking trip. I am loving it and look forward to the workouts!!"
