Does climbing make me fit?

Well…. that’s like asking “does running make me lean”? No, it doesn’t. But it does fit into a larger fitness regimen which in turn help you in getting fit. Similarly, climbing can surely be a regular activity in your journey towards being fit.

Observing a climber who has been at it for ages, you will surely notice the lean physique and muscular body. Climbing does help in being fit as it is an easy way to burn an insane number of calories with as few as 5 strenuous climbs. Climbing also works on your arms, shoulders, glutes, core and the mind. Imagine, what other activity can boast of this in a single workout.

Climbing regularly will help in achieving flexibility as you will quickly realize that many climbing moves require stretch, finesse and fluid movements. Reaching out for those seemingly out of reach holds does give your body a natural stretch.

So what are you waiting for. Take up climbing and experience the benefits while having fun. At Climb Central, no experience is necessary for you to join. Attend a 15-minute safety briefing and be on your journey towards being a climber.
