Staying in Thru-Hiking Shape During the Offseason: Kettlebell Training with Lint

Only a handful of people on this earth have more hiking experience than Lint. He’s hiked the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail three times each, known otherwise as a Triple Triple Crowner. So when he says that kettlebells are the ultimate thru-hiking training tool, you should listen.

In the following video, Lint walks (pun intended) us through a handful of his favorite kettlebell exercises, including the goblet squat, single-leg deadlift, figure-eight lunge, halo, clean and press, and the classic kettlebell swing.

TL; DR: These single-device workouts are an effective way to keep yourself strong when you don’t have the time or access to get out on the trail.
