The activity that certainly seems to be currying favour more than most at the moment absolutely has to be indoor rock climbing, which you may hear referred to as bouldering from time to time as well.

It’s a very challenging but highly exciting and enjoyable sport so it’s no surprise that so many of you out there are giving it a go. If you’re trying to get in shape, it’s a brilliant way of going about it because it will work absolutely every part of your body – and you’ll certainly feel it the next day.

It works your core muscles because you need to engage these as you climb to give the proper support your arms and legs need, but obviously you’ll also work your arms and legs out a lot as well or you’ll never make it to the next hold on the wall.

But it’s not just the physical benefits that you’ll reap when you start to climb. Don’t forget about your mental health as well! Climbing makes you feel incredibly good, particularly when you complete a climb that you’ve been working on for weeks. The sense of achievement is certainly something to write home about!

Your problem-solving skills could also receive a serious boost because you have to work out where your next hold is and the best way to go about reaching the top of the climb. It’s all about strategy and without this, you may well find you flounder.

And then there’s the social aspect of it all… we’ve already mentioned that it’s a very popular pastime these days. You’re sure to make lots of new friends when you start your climbing adventure. Before you know it you’ll be able to tackle one of these stunning outdoor climbing spots as well!
