Train your body strength

Climbing a mountain is not just hauling your body up to the mountain but moving with a large baggage on your back. You should join a training exercise course and perform some kinds of activities such as powerlifting, pull-ups, lunges to make your body become comfortable with extra weight.

Another suggested exercises are front squats, power cleans, dead lifts, bench press, etc.

You should also train with your mountaineering boots, clothes, loaded pack, etc since it is a chance to translate  your strength into strength in the mountain and real-world condition, from flat lands to cliffs.

Build up your endurance

Increasing endurance is one of your primary goals when training for mountain climbing since you are going to keep moving in a one-or-two-hour journey. Therefore, it requires mountaineers to exercise anaerobic endurance and aerobic stamina training with continuous movement.

To increase aerobic endurance, some kinds of exercises such as distance cycling and running are really useful. Workout routines with regular interval training will help you increase anaerobic stamina.

Some methods such as hiking steep terrain or stair climbing with a pack are really useful to enhance your ability to move your body upwards when you’re in the mountain.

Train for altitude

Since air pressure reduces at higher altitudes, there will be less available oxygen. Hence, the higher you get, the lower level of your performance you give. You should focus on training cardiovascular system to strengthen your ability to do better at high altitude. Some suggested activities are cycling, running, and swimming.

Practice

There is no training for climbing like climbing. The real test will ensure your body strength, endurance and your strain of altitude are conditioned for the stresses of mountain climbing.
