Staying in Shape on the road
|
Hey everyone! I just completed my undergrad in engineering and got a job as a contract engineer which has been an incredible experience! However, as I'm sure many of you know, training while living out of a suite case in hotel rooms has been really challenging. I have come to the conclusion that I will never be pushing my limits to the grade extent as I was in college, but I still want to be able to challenge myself and give myself more variety by staying in the 5.10-5.11 climbing range. What tips do you guys have for someone who has an irregular and travel schedule? Thanks everyone! |

Rock Rings. You can hang them all over the place (gyms, parks, playgrounds, etc) and stay in shape. |

Also I would say that for most people maintaining a general fitness level and a body fat under 12% would likely result in being capable of climbing 11s. |

Many hotels have a gym you could use for general strength training. You could also do push-ups, planks, and many other body weight exercises to maintain your core strength |

That is guys, that's what I'm currently doing, I was just wondering if there were any other tips out there |

In your hotel rooms look at the top of the doors. There might be a small edge for doing pull ups and dead hangs. Keep your fingers alive. |
