Jason Antin – 6 Weeks to Trail Fit

When you’re out on the trail, you want to focus on the views and the experience—not the pain in your legs. That’s why Jason Antin, a mountain guide and performance coach, designed this 6.5-week fitness online class to help you be physically ready for your next summit. You can train your body to achieve more than you ever thought possible, even if your current fitness level isn’t where you want it to be. Hiking challenging trails requires strength and endurance that you build over time.

In addition to a daily training regimen that takes you through simple, but effective, fitness exercises, you’ll gain expert insight from a professional mountain guide and mountain performance coach into strengthening your back, legs, core, and upper body. We’ll cover why these muscles are important, how to gradually build strength, and how to set reachable goals to push your limits safely and effectively—and with minimal equipment.

This approachable training plan mixes in increasingly challenging hikes, daily in-home or gym workouts, and weekly rest days.

How This Course Works

You’ll learn through a variety of interactive formats, including video instruction, photo descriptions, and more. Each week builds on the last, and we suggest following the regimen as its presented—though you have the flexibility to start on whatever day works for your schedule. Plus, once you purchase the course, it’s yours forever, meaning you can repeat the plan as many times as you’d like.
