036 On Adventure Fitness with Aaron Ogden

“A lot of health and fitness has become too medical and industrial… It’s not fun to come to the gym to just to fight for your health. Excercise should inspire you to play!”

Adventure Fitness defined as fitness that inspires play. Adventure is a playful activity in an environment that includes elements to challenge us physically.

Winter Sport Case Study: Craig, 62-year-old and successful entrepreneur and Mt. Dew enthusiast. Aaron invited him on a backcountry skiing trip. It started with training on equipment and mountain and avalanche safety. Training regimen began for cardiovascular fitness. Weight loss became incentivized by saying, “If you lose 10 to 20 pounds you will feel more efficient in performing this specific activity.” By the end of the year, he was down 20 lbs and could be outdoors for 8 hours of constant movement!

“I don’t want to see exercise as something to be dreaded. I want to see it as something fun and increasing your quality of life.”

Gratitude trips are outings where you reward yourself for working out and utilizing your fitness in a new way. These gratitude trips evolved into Adventure Fitness and corporate training programs.

When you put in training for an event or activity, you will gain a greater appreciation when it is over.
