Meet Corey, who has just conquered Mount Whitney! ⛰️💪
This wasn’t Corey’s first mountain climb, so he had something to compare it to. And when he got back, he told me he really noticed a difference this time — especially on the way back down and in how his knees felt.
Corey Corey Randolph and one of his amazing friends Niqui Merret train with me twice a week, combining strength training and swimming.
Here’s the cool part, we haven’t been training specifically for Mount Whitney. We’ve been working on building strength, stability, muscular endurance and overall fitness. This is exactly why I love these hybrid sessions with these two.
The real test of your training isn’t always what happens in the gym. It’s being able to take that strength and fitness and use it for the things you actually want to do for fun or perhaps on vacation. Niqui was white water rafting this summer which, if you’ve ever done is hard work as well😓
The descent from a mountain can be particularly tough on the legs, especially after hours of climbing. So hearing Corey say that he could really feel the difference this time was pretty awesome.
Well done, Corey! 👊🏻⛰️
