How To Strength Train While On the Trail

I don’t know about you, but fresh air and nature does wonders for my motivation, endurance, and joy when it comes to running (or hiking, biking, doing yoga).

If you love being on the trails, and hate going to the gym for your “strength training”, let me show you how to make nature your gym.

Rocks are better than dumbbells any day!

If you’re just starting out, do each exercise 1x, and 15-20 reps of each exercise.

If you need more challenge do 2 or 3 rounds of the exercises and add the rock weight to the exercise to make it more challenging!
