How to fall in love with every muscle of your body and learn to believe in yourself

Continues adidas «programI create myself"In which I participate. I have a simple goal and at the same time challenging: pick a sport that is so cool that I did not have the energy to give up training. I tried boxing, body-ballet, antigraviti.

It was the turn of rock climbing. Check whether or not to tear the tops, the program participants went to the climbing center BigWall.

Unusual warm and frivolous purpose

Any activity starts with a warm-up, all the more so heavy, like rock climbing. Unlike other sports, there is heated primarily the joints, it is directed to the first minutes of exercises: twist everything revolves, in all possible directions.

Then pull the participating insurance and get accustomed to the tracks, at the same time studying the unusual equipment and gear.

• Climbing shoes - shoes with non-slip sole, which should be a little small. It is necessary to engage with the projections on the wall.
• Magnesia - talc, without which the fingers will fall apart, even with the most convenient places.
• Gris-Gris - a device for the insurance.

Looking up at the coming my way, I noticed that as one of the pillars stands a green mask of a mysterious creature.

"Crawled to the mask - and back, it's so high!" - I thought at that moment. Still, strange and difficult to climb. I was haunted by the fear that a little bit more and the arm or leg fail me, and I fell miserably hang on the insurance. But when a green mask-support could catch up, I felt a mad rush of excitement. After the summit nothing at all! Only halfway left!

Incredible discoveries and conclusions

The unexpected discovery I made in the second half of the track. I came across a difficult area on which there was no obvious clues. For those that were needed to reach so far that in the end I was in the position of the star. To move forward, it was necessary to abandon the reliable points of support.

The coach said that you need to push off with one foot and cease to hold with one hand, so that for a moment all of my 60-plus kilograms hung on the other hand. More precisely, on the fingers, because the second leg in any way if this could be a foothold.

Let's be honest. My hands are so-so. If completely honest, I have still not very good, but to entrust it to "all" the fingers of the right, I could not.

I like to plunge into a fly tape, I hung on the wall and thought to take me out of here will be only through the MOE team.

But I am insured (under the full control of the coaching) is the same brand new girl, who came to the gym. And the longer I struggled with my "can not", the further postponed her climb. My engine was the conscience, I did what the coach ordered. Everything worked out!

And here it is - a discovery! It is not necessary to keep all arms and legs, teeth for hooks. Movement along the wall - is not only the strength and stretching, it is also the physics of leverage.

They gave me a place to stand, so I turned the idea of ​​himself.

I do not even know what my body is capable of something like that my courage enough for a breakthrough. And I began to respect his strong arm, which it stood. :)

At the top of the stand I respected his every muscle, even on the little fingers of legs.

Sport load

Trails in the gym are different, and, as it turned out, I started with the simplest. But even on light ups work hands (especially the muscles of the forearm), the whole back (absolutely everything, even the deep muscle), body, hips, including hip rotators, which are undeveloped, I thought more in training for Body-ballet.

After several ascents of the hand shake voltage shiver, leans fatigue. If we consider the amount of adrenaline produced during exercise, I'm afraid to imagine how many calories burned program participants.

Or, instead of hesitation lie down?

Participant training

In fact, a hitch has been devoted to stretching of the joints, including the cervical spine. Of course, few people so accustomed to turn his head and look up with hope, looking for the best place to capture.

How to train in the gym

Since the occupation "I create myself"Was a familiarization, the coaches have told only about the underlying technology, which will allow to pass a single track without injury, why can not put the foot sideways, what to do with his knees, why can not always keep your hands folded, and what places need to cling to wall.

It turns out, climbing goes far beyond the pull-ups, and if stands to conquer, not paying attention to the statement of rules hand and foot, the achievements will not see.

To strengthen the muscles between workouts, you can use any strength exercises. Especially good are charged with all kinds of bars. But specially trained fingers is not necessary, it is not for beginners in climbing.

Where to give birth to climbing walls

And there are those for whom climbing wall only way to develop and consolidate the skills, and the most interesting - is leaving the nature and mountaineering.
