Climbing

One of the most beneficial hobbies

Humans learn to climb before we even walk, pulling ourselves up to get a higher view (or to reach something that looks interesting on the table). Our natural human instinct is to climb anything we can hold onto. That is, until it’s scolded out of us. Kids don’t think about boring things like learning & exercising. They want to have FUN and release energy.
Climbing develops lean, endurance muscles. Climbing strengthens your hands and forearms, biceps, shoulders, neck, traps, upper back, lats, lower back, abs, glutes, thighs and calves. Your entire body, including cardiovascular systems, benefits from rock climbing. It has been shown to increase special perception, hand-eye coordination and balance. It also teaches goal setting, communication, problem solving and planning.
For many, one of the most beneficial aspects of climbing is stress relief. The climbing wall takes your all and in return, takes it all off your shoulders. When you’re climbing, you’re concentrating on your body movements, and the goal of the summit. The real world drifts away, leaving you and gravity to duke it out. After a rigorous climbing session your endorphins are peaked and you can get back to life with a clear head.
