Rock Climbing
Rock Climbing is quite simply an amazing sport. I have yet to
find a better sport or activity that exercises your body and mind
than Rock Climbing. To be an efficient climber you don't only
have to train to be strong; you have to train to be smart.
Every movement, body position, hand/foot placement, ounce of energy
and inch of friction must be carefully planned and considered in
order to strive to improve your climbing abilities. It is not
a competitive sport by nature; the point of climbing is to simply
improve yourself: your strength, technique, and concentration.
There is no better way to get a full body workout, or to relieve
stress after a long day. If you've never tried it, you should.
It's not nearly as intimidating as it may seem. If you have
tried it, email me at
m-lester@m-lester.com and maybe we can get together and go
climbing sometime. Climb on everyone!
