Bouldering

Put on climbing shoes and check the mats and people around you. Loosen up your fingers, wrists, and shoulders to prepare.

Start with easy problems to get a feel for the holds. Push up with your legs rather than pulling only with your arms.

Lower the intensity with easy problems as you finish. Loosen your fingers and shoulders, then check your workout duration.

Climbing the wall works your cardiovascular system and whole body. Hang with your fingers, arms, and back while pushing up with your legs.

Do not stand below someone climbing or in a possible fall zone. Avoid jumping from high up, and bend your knees as you land on the mat.

Exhale instead of holding your breath on hard moves. Rest between problems and let your breathing settle.

Record the time spent bouldering. Do not enter the number of problems sent or their grades.
