Ski touring fitness

Nurlan Sadykov

I’m Nurlan. I help weekend ski tourers train in the city: stairs, step-ups and quick transitions. I sell training sheets, a guide and two video courses.

Read it top to bottom, like a tour. Each bar is a stage of the day and each link is a way to train for it.

About me

I live on the sixth floor of an apartment block, and the stairs are where I train for the hills. For years I fitted weekend touring around a desk job, and I learned that the legs you build from Monday to Friday decide how the Saturday feels.

Everything I post is what I do myself: a stair session before work, step-ups with a loaded pack, a timer on my transitions and the same kit check at the door every time. The videos and the letter are free. What I sell is the part you can print and use: sessions, logs and checklists, a guide and two courses.

I teach fitness and morning habits. For avalanche skills and rescue, take a proper course with a qualified instructor.
