I doubt I would be able to have such long sessions in an indoor gym though... Read more

I just learned at the gym that this is actually an international way of encouraging or saying "you can do it". Pretty cool when the whole gym is yelling at you "alle" or "you can do it!".

I haven't found what works best yet though as i... Read more

I think I was just very much lacking the technique needed to actually do the boulder. If I would have done it though I don't know if I... Read more

Rock climbing is a mix of cardio and strength training. It requires strength to pull yourself up and hold onto the wall or rocks. At the same time, climbing can get your heart pumping and provide a good cardiovascular workout. So, it's a great way to build both strength and endurance.
