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

All of the programs that Kris wrote for trainingbeta.com have a focus on overall fitness. He's a big advocate for creating great all-around athletes because he believes that strong people make strong climbers.
