You don’t need mobility to move mountains – you need it to climb them. Backcountry athletes need to be as nimble and adaptable as the animals they chase. MTN MVMNT 2.0 was created to improve your functional mobility with movements geared toward spinal and core strength and hip, shoulder, wrist and elbow flexibility to keep you agile for years to come. 

Strength training is more than just weight lifting. And yoga is more than just stretching, which is why MTNTOUGH collaborated with Heather Leigh, a certified fitness and wellness coach, to deliver MTN MVMNT 2.0 to our community. This program will help you build lean muscle mass and develop stronger joints through a sequence of movement patterns that beginners, intermediate and elite athletes can use to elevate and enhance their fitness regime. 

By incorporating MTN MVMNT 2.0 into regular workouts, mountain athletes will experience increased flexibility and mobility as well other side benefits like decreased stress, improved mental clarity and mindfulness, and better sleep – necessary ingredients to become a holistic and healthy backcountry athlete. 

This program includes six 12-minute workouts that can be done individually or sequentially along with two longer full-body workouts to incorporate into your routine. MTN MVMNT 2.0 also has four short bonus videos that provide ways to add quick mobility stretches at the office, after a day of travel, before you put on a heavy pack and a full body cool-down to use as needed. These options make MTN MVMNT 2.0 scalable – depending on your fitness level and your time commitment. 

Mobility is the key to longevity. Start MTN MVMNT 2.0 today.
