Day 11 – Altitude training

Day 11 – Altitude training

Still at the top of Alp d’Huez, it really is one of my favourite places.  Such a gorgeous little village in a truly unique location – check it out online to get a feel for it.

Today is strength training again.  There are limits on the number of moves you can do, without incorporating weights, balls, cables etc.  But there is no limit on the different ways you can put these moves together.  Today is challenging, especially on the legs.  In fact, the push-ups in this photo are your ‘break’ – the only non-leg exercise you do!

Please note – training at altitude isn’t something the average exerciser needs to aim to do!  Even elite athletes are better of living at altitude, but training low.  An interesting fact to add to your repertoire….
