Looking for a new approach to training your core?
This article from climbing.com shows 10 exercises that don’t just target the core muscles, but work many parts of the body at once with the aim of building a more complete core.
When you’re climbing you use multiple parts of the body (including your strong core) at the same time; makes good sense to train that way….
“A strong core is crucial to progressing as a climber. Body tension, keeping your feet on, moving efficiently, toeing-in on overhangs—it all revolves around the core. Plus, a solid core helps prevent injury. You’ve probably heard a core-strength evangelist preach the benefits before, and you’ve probably been pointed toward endless crunches or even expensive programs like Pilates, TRX, or yoga. Get ready for a new approach: varied exercises that are specifically targeted to work multiple parts of your body at the same time—just like climbing does.” -Caroline Meleedy
This article includes guidelines for when and how often to do these core exercises.
All 10 exercises are thoroughly explained with photos, specific directions, and the exact muscles each exercise targets. Some of the core exercises also include variations to make them more challenging if you’re needing it.
Give your old core routine a break and check out this new workout to build a more complete core….
