HIKING / ROCK CLIMBING WORKOUT

Sunday September 16th Went hiking / rock climbing. This exercise promotes kinesthetic mind/body awareness, and can boost self confidence as well as balance / coordination. Also, incorporates the upper and lower body muscles (core) and cardiovascular systems. Excellent outdoor fitness workout.   However, I would recommend prior fitness training before embarking on a hiking / rock climbing adventure to prepare and/or strengthen your muscles and body for such an activity in order to avoid injury.
