MA Fitness Ep. 7 – Stair Training

This is one of the training sessions I did regularly to get ready for the Tough Mudder. There are A LOT of hills on the tough mudder course due to the fact that it’s Mount St. Louis Moonstone ski complex. Doing weighted stair climbing and then a 5 to 10 km run is a great way to condition the body for an endurance event as well as lose a lot of weight really quickly. The weighted stair climbing burns out your short term carbohydrate/sugar stores and then the run forces you to burn your long term fat stores. I lost over 20 lbs in 8 weeks getting ready for this mudder and the stairs were a big part of it. Enjoy!
