Hillfit v 2.0

I've finally updated Hillfit - the ebook that I released about 16 months ago.  The idea behind Hillfit is that the average person who enjoys hiking, hillwalking and time in the outdoors can have more fun, find every walk easier, be safer and more resilient by getting a bit stronger.

Getting Stronger

Getting stronger shouldn't be a complex matter - picking some simple and safe exercises and doing them consistently can make a huge difference.

The focus of it all is enjoyment  -  I want you to have more fun in the hills - getting stronger lets you do that.

What is new

Version 2.0 is a lot more than an update.  It contains about 70 additional pages, more material and contributions from several other trainers and exercise scientists.  The structure is:


  • PART 1 WHY GET STRONGER
  • PART 2: HOW TO GET STRONGER
  • PART 3: APPLYING YOUR STRENGTH TO THE SKILL OF WALKING
  • PART 4: BEYOND STRENGTH
  • PART 5: PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER


Contributors

This time, it is not just me...there are contributions from 

  • Tim Anderson - who writes about the mental and physical benefits of hiking in the countryside
  • James Steele II - explains how there is no such thing as cardio - proper strength training has a range of metabolic, cardiovascular and cellular impacts that are normally only associated with endurance training
  • Skyler Tanner - notes how walking  is different from exercise
  • Bill DeSimone - describes how to choose safe exercises 
  • Steven Sashen - looks at how to walk efficiently
  • Todd Hargrove - outlines some exercises to improve mobility, balance and proprioception
  • Colin Gordon - writes about  mobility and some daily exercises to keep you supple.

I am loving the concept of your ebook. Not everyone really enjoys to go to the gym all the time. Activities such as hiking or running and other enjoyable activities have some similar benefits to normal workouts in the gym.
