台中洋碩美語 makes our lives valuable

Having fear of heights is what keeps people from gaining their very first climbing experience. Try out bouldering instead. There are no complicated rope systems, you typically don’t get too high off the ground, and all you really need are shoes and some chalk.Bouldering is a great physical workout. Using muscles all over you body-not just your arms. Cool, gymnastic movement on rock-this is what bouldering is all about. Unlike most forms of exercise, however, it’s so much fun you might not even realize you’ve had a big workout-until you wake up the next day feeling sore in so many weird places. Below is a clip in which you can learn about the basics of this indoor rock climbing. Take the time to enjoy the process, be safe, and hopefully your climbing will come full circle, too.

懼高症是讓很多人不敢去嘗試攀岩的原因

但大家可以試試看抱石-不一樣的室內攀岩

因為你通常不會離地太遠，所以不需要很複雜的吊繩來支撐你，你只需要一雙攀岩鞋跟一些粉筆就可以開爬了!

抱石也是一種很好的健身活動，你會用到全身的肌肉，不只是只有你的手臂

但它不像其他的健身活動，你可能會一直到隔天，感覺到全身很多莫名其妙的地方痠痛時才知道自己原來有這麼激烈地鍛鍊到身體的肌肉

以下是一段短短的影片，裡面你可以學到一些入門者所需要知道的一些有關抱石的基本常識

花時間享受這個過程，同時注意安全，希望你能完整地結束一次的抱石體驗，可以順利地攀爬下來，不須落地
