Training for Kilimanjaro is one of the most adventurous things a person can do. Experienced guides and climbing experts can take people up this historic mountain on different routes. The height and intensity of the climb make rigorous training absolutely necessary. The right trainers can help make sure your climb is the safest, most fulfilling experience possible. This mountain has multiple routes and schedules. Your training team can help you get ready for different types of ascent. Most climbs take seven to eight days to complete. Your guide may train you for the more intense routes that are considered the most scenic. These routes have approximately two days of very steep climbing at the beginning. There are other options with less traffic and gentler inclines that are easier to climb. You will have a much easier time acclimating as you ascend these routes. Your training team should help you plan carefully and get you ready for a route you can safely complete.
Many people need to dramatically improve the intensity of their workouts to complete a climb. Your guide should carefully review your training experience and see if your joints and overall strength are suitable for climbing. You may need to work with a trainer to bulk up your weak spots and develop more endurance. A week of straight climbing can quickly create stiffness and joint strains for people without enough training. Your trainer should also help you with a reliable stretching routine that will help you on the mountain.
