- Level II core exercises
- Level II lower body exercises
- Proper hiker’s/backpacker’s cool down
- Level II progression handout of hiking specific exercises

During this course you will receive a specialized training plan that will outline proper progression of sets and repetitions for each exercise taught over a one-month period. You will also develop a personalized workout calendar to help keep you on track with your pre-season training program. All exercises taught in the class can be performed at home or outdoors.
This is a hands on course, be sure to bring your workout clothes! If you have a foam roller or rolling stick, bring it with you.

Required Equipment
Please bring a workout mat, rolling stick and a foam roller. Handouts will be emailed to you prior to the class. Print and bring them with you.
If you do not have a rolling stick or foam roller, that is okay. However, if you have a friend that has a stick or foam roller ask them if you can borrow one or both for the class, as it is nice to have your own to use. If you have more than one foam roller or stick and are willing to bring them to share, that would be greatly appreciated.
