You’ve probably heard before how important resting is in the quest to get stronger at climbing. But actually resting and taking time to recover can be hard to do, yeah?
Think you could build in a short 5 minutes a day of added rest?
This is an article by Jeff Jackson from the rockandice.com site about the benefits of savasana (corpse pose) for climbers.
“With ready access to gyms, crags and boulders, it’s easy to train but it’s also easy to over-train. You get psyched, don’t rest enough and get hurt. No matter how much you climb, you just can’t seem to get better. Or you have a nagging injury. Or you can’t concentrate and flub beta. Or you’re just plain scared.” -Jeff Jackson
Sound like you? Then you should consider giving his method a try: 5 minutes of savasana a day for one month.
As he says:
“For climbers, the physical and mental benefits of focused resting and meditation should be obvious.”
He explains how to properly do the pose by giving a sequence for you to read and relax to. And he explains the many potential benefits of savasana.
“Debilitating stress is rampant in today’s fast-paced world. Savasana is not a miracle cure but it can help revitalize the nervous system and improve your capacity for dealing with life’s many challenges and stressors, as well as improving your climbing.”
