Ask Kris 006 :: Improving Overall Fitness for Climbing
Improving Overall Fitness for Climbing
This week, in our sixth mini episode of Ask Kris, we talked about how to improve overall fitness for climbing. I was actually a little bit confused about what "fitness" really meant, and Kris helped me understand what it is and how to gain more of it.
Here's what we talked about:
- What fitness actually is
- Specific workouts you should do to train fitness
- How I should train for my long-ass route project
- Who needs fitness?
- How a workout that has no climbing in it can improve your climbing fitness
