Have you ever tried to do you workout in a high altitude? I can really recommend it, because it’s worth to have this experience. I’m someone who takes pride in being strong and fit, but I’ve been feeling like a beginner again for past several days doing my workouts in Tahoe. It feels like I’m constantly carrying a heavy weight right on my chest, and on my legs. Now it makes total sense why people who grow up in high altitudes are so much fitter and stronger than us flat landers. If I can give you any fitness tip, try to go for a vacation or a retreat somewhere to the mountains where you can be active and do your workouts on top of that. If I ever organize a retreat for you guys, it will be probably here in Lake Tahoe. Fingers crossed 😉

I did this workout on top of a look out where you can see Lake Tahoe behind me. The view is just as breathtaking as the hike up there 🙂 Have fun with this bonus workout. You’ll need a sturdy chair or you can take it outside and use a bench in the park.

    I have been following your workouts now for about 6 years. And I have lived above 8,000 feet the while time! It’s definitely a bit harder. But I love the extra challenge! Lake Tahoe would be a nice break!

    what do you consider “altitude” ? I googled Lake Tahoe and doesn’t seem that high, however up on the look out where you are, it is way higher (btw, looks like very popular since they did some concrete trail).
    I live at 1050m (3444ft) but that is not high enough. During hikes in the Alps, I remember out of breath around 3000m (10000ft) and I think it is rather that height that athletes are training. They say that only 2 weeks is needed to get your blood changed.

      Most people consider “altitude” to be anything over 5,000 feet. Lake Tahoe is above 6,000 feet. The place she hiked to is probably around 7,500-8,000 feet. And she lives in Los Angeles which is basically at sea level. So a 6,000 foot difference makes it quite challenging. I live in San Diego and visit Tahoe frequently and it’s no joke, the altitude makes a huge difference when you are coming from sea level.

    I finished the killer legs and this one! Completely out of breath, completely in happy! 🙂
    Awesome! But I don’t how it can possible be completed in 5 minutes, I finished in 6:22. 🙂 Maybe it’s because of my chair, that doesn’t have enough trust… and I had to be carefully with step ups, maybe it’s because of KL workout. Anyway, I feel amazing!
