Why you should get into mountain climbing

Looking to try a new exciting hobby? If you like long walks and the great outdoors, mountain climbing might just be the one for you!

What are the benefits?

1. Fitness

Let’s all be honest here: exercise can be boring as hell. Thankfully mountain climbing can also be another form of fitness that can spice up your usual regime and help you stay in shape! Consistent climbing can improve your endurance as well as your stamina and core strength. Why not enjoy yourself to a new adventure where you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, gain new experiences (and photos for instagram) whilst also improving your physical health in the process?

2. Mental Health

There are various studies that show a positive correlation between exercising outdoors and improved mental health. After all, sometimes what we all need Is to just get away from the stress of city living. Out in the mountains you can relax and have some well-needed quiet time where you can really practice being present in the moment. Plus there’s no better feeling than that sense of achievement as you and your fellow climbers reach the summit.

3. Experience the fresh air.

Air pollution is a serious issue that is unfortunately very common, especially if you live in a busy city. But when you’re mountain climbing you can finally experience the air as it was meant to be enjoyed, free from the stress of city living.

Mountain climbing is a fun and exciting form of exercise with immense benefits. Why not give it a go as one of your New Year’s resolutions.
