How to- Prepare yourself for wall climbing-(home workout).

Wall climbing is a great and exciting sport. As adventurous as it is, it needs a lot of strength as well. For the beginners it has to be done in the supervision of a professional. You don't want to end up pulling your muscle, twisting your ankle or hurting your back. 

Building up stamina requires good food and exercise. Now most of us do not have a gym at home and maybe we cant even afford to go to a good gym. In that case what do we do? We could go out in the park but what if it's too cold or it's been raining? 

That is why we have put together certain workout routines which can help you build stamina at home and the best part is that you do not need any gym equipment. So it's a win win. 

So here is a hassle free guide to gaining strength at home- 

• Pull ups- Now if you have ever seen any wall or rock climber in action the you would know that it requires a lot of pulling your body weight and if you are not strong enough then climbing would be one hell of a job for you. Doing pull ups is one exercise that helps you gain lot of strength on your arms, torso and legs. So if you do not have a pull up bar at home then do not worry. You can always use things around in the house. For example- hanging off - an upper shelf, exposed beams, attics, staircases. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Push ups- Another very effective exercise to build up your arm muscle is to do push ups. This is one exercise which you can do anywhere. Even in your bedroom. All you need is a small space to fit. Doing three sets of push ups every day will show you some tremendous results. Your arms will be stronger which will make you a better climber.
  
  
• Stretches- If you see people climbing on the wall, you will see that there is a lot of body stretching that goes on, specially the legs. To reach from one place to another you might have to stretch your legs in a way you never did before and this might lead to muscle pull and that is why we advice our clients to regularly practice stretches at home. You do not need any gym equipment for this. Doing stretches like- 90/90 Hamstring, adductor, all four quad stretch, ankle on the knee, calf stretch elbows against wall, cat stretch etc can be good for a start.
