I’ve been thinking I should take up yoga. A lot of the issues I’ve had climbing have been lack of flexibility.

Look into Supple leopard by Kelly Starrett or Flexible Steel by Jon Engum. Both are great. Only thing i don't like about supple leapord is you need a couple pieces of equipment like foam roller and bands. Some of flexible steel builds on the works of others and you may need to research a bit into those. Both very helpful and well worth the investment in time and money.I’ve been thinking I should take up yoga. A lot of the issues I’ve had climbing have been lack of flexibility.

I follow streetparking.com in my garage. Pretty sure I have come across someone else here who is a member.I have always been a pretty small guy, and typically in generally good shape. But, I am planning to spend the next year really pushing myself into mountain shape. I’m hoping to do a solo back country OTC elk hunt in 11k-13k territory, and regardless of wether that happens I would like to be in that kind of shape.
Obviously general cardio needs to be a focus, backpacking with weight needs to be in the mix, and I know I need to work on my glutes quite a bit. Also, ever since a shoulder injury 2 .5 years I have noticed a marked difference in my upper body strength mostly due to babying my shoulder. So back/shoulders need to be focused on too.
It’s starting to sound like a lot now that I say it....
I have really never been a gym rat, and have VERY little knowledge of what workouts or lifts I need to do to work the proper muscle groups. So, what do y’all do (or would y’all do) to train for a strenuous high mountain elk trip?
Man, I don’t think I’m going to attack p90X again.. I ran through that program twice when it first came out. I think Shaun T would kill me now.
