JAnyone who has tried it before knows that climbing demands a lot from your body. Almost all of the body's skeletal muscles are used but not all muscle groups with the same intensity. For example, forearms, latissimus, back shoulder and upper body are particularly stressed (in addition, the biceps brachialis when bouldering). The thighs and gastrocnemius muscles on the back of the leg also do a lot of work. In order to prevent injuries and poor posture, targeted training is required - not only to build up muscles relevant to climbing, but also to actively strengthen your "opponents" (for example, biceps to bend the arm and triceps to stretch it). The great advantage of a strenuous climbing unit in the hall or in the Ötztal granite rocks: you burn a lot of calories and afterwards you can treat yourself to a culinary reward and a round of relaxation, for example at Aqua Dome Längenfeld.
