Hey Roksliders,
After a little while away from a solid workout plan, I've restarted one of the MTNTOUGH workout programs. I've previously done the post-season and pre-season workout programs from mtntough, which Matt and I reviewed a while back. Coming into this year I feel more out of condition than I have in the past and wanting to get a routine going again with fitness I noticed MTNTOUGH had conveniently just released their on-ramp programs aimed towards folks needing a kickstart. As we've discussed before the post and pre season, not to mention elite, programs are intense built to make you a mountain hunter. The thought of starting those programs again right now is daunting to me, so I chose the on-ramp for just the reason it sounds.. an on-ramp to the beefier programs.
Couple things that have changed since I last reviewed. MTNTOUGH now has an app which was highly requested. They've also gone to a subscription based system at $240/year or $30/mo and that gives you access to the ENTIRE platform, not just 1 program. That includes like 15 different programs to choose from ranging from beginner to elite in both a gym setting and body weight setting. Great deal for me. Rokslide members can use code ROKMTN for a 30 day free trial on the app!
When I'm home in Idaho I have a fairly basic garage gym. I first started the On-Ramp Minimal Gear program where you only need dumbbells and a box (or a cooler). One thing I really like about this program is following along.. think back to p90x or some of the beachbody DVD's where you follow along with the whole workout.. this is the same idea which I enjoyed. I put a small TV in the garage with a Roku and downloaded the MTNTOUGH+ app right onto the Roku so I could stream to the tv. You can also get the app with the other smart tv devices so you can stream the workouts.
As I write this now, I'm in Nebraska on the family ranch helping out with some things. I don't have a gym here at all, but that's ok because I just swapped over to the On-Ramp Bodyweight program where no equipment is needed. This is only a 2 week program at 3 days a week and is meant to just get you moving again. Each workout is about 30 minutes when following along. I'm planning on doing the 2 week course and from there, graduating to a program they call the 30-30. It's a bodyweight only program that is 6 weeks, 5 days a week. I'm hoping that will put me into a great place to start the pre-season program.
I'll keep my progression of the program updated on this thread. If you have any questions let me know. @weston(mtntough) with MTNTOUGH is also here and ready to answer questions.
