VIDARR- Stamina Program

This is a 12-week program designed for those who are ready to commit to a real physical fitness practice. It will get you moving functionally, under load and over distance. You will build baseline strength as well as the muscular and aerobic endurance necessary to get you on the mountain. For those that have already tried the Couch-to-Mountain Program with us, this or Tyr is your next step. 

For those who are new to our programming, you can just as easily start here as with the 4-week Couch-to-Mountain Program. This program is designed for

the adventurous hunter but is also great for those in the military, law enforcement, or first responder communities. This program is cousins with Tyr but designed to be done in a gym, whereas Tyr is designed to require minimal equipment for those who prefer to workout outside or do not have access to a gym.

Whether you are ready to get into the backcountry, training for MIL/LEO-style fitness, or just looking to "get back into it," this is for you. If you are looking to build stamina and functional strength in the gym, this is your program. Because this is a full, 12-week program, you will see a natural progression with functional strength and aerobic endurance elements as well as a ton of variety with the anaerobic elements. You will work from a 5k base run distance in the first six weeks to a 10k base distance in the last half. Don't worry, though, this isn't a runner's program. You won't break 10 miles in a week until Week 10. Strap in, you are about to get after it for the next 12 weeks.

Reference the Exercise Index on the last page for any exercises you might be unfamiliar with. We don't have our own exercise demos built yet, but until then, all of the exercises are easy to find on Youtube.
