Rock climbing and bouldering require power for explosive movements, balance to traverse or move up a rock face, endurance to sustain you through long climbs, and a stable core to help you climb better and more efficiently. The best way to train for rock climbing is to spend time climbing-whether you do at the gym or the crag. As the coronavirus grips the nation, many people are focusing on isolating themselves at home for a few weeks. Most climbing and fitness gyms have closed and crag climbing isn't recommended (due to overcrowding).
If you're struggling to get to the next grade or send your projects, don't worry, you're not alone. It might be because you're not training - you're just climbing - which is fun, but you need a climbing training book Climbing Training Project offers simple step-by-step instructions for what to do each training day. Whether you're a boulderer or a route climber, a novice or a pro, we have something for you.
