By Carrie Lane, Director of Sport Performance We're starting a new series here to highlight some of our favorite training exercises that we are use in our coaching programs. Anyone who trains with me knows I L-O-V-E the "L-Over." This general strength exercise hits several facets of the all-important posterior chain. It strengthens antagonist and stabilizer muscles in the hips, pelvis, and back.

By Carrie Lane, Director of Sport Performance As an alpinist, you train to conserve as much energy as possible. A culmination of wasted movement can mean failure as you gain altitude or descend ahead of looming weather. Of course, you need the lung power to get through those long days at altitude. But you also need strength to keep you moving efficiently and with little wasted effort. Strength training should therefore be an integral part of your alpine training plan, but your routine should also be efficient enough to get you in and out of a weight room fairly quickly. Designing a plan that offers the most benefit to your mountaineering objectives can be overwhelming. Lets start with strengthening your torso and hips, since those areas are the foundation for stability, strength, and efficiency in most of your body's movement patterns.
