Things to note when climbing a mountain, English for climbing a mountain

Since mountain climbing does not require special equipment and is an outdoor aerobic exercise, it has become the preferred way for people living in downtown areas to exercise. No matter they are old, young or middle-aged, they can arrange the way of climbing according to their own physical condition, such as the beautiful hills in the city or the mountains in the suburbs, or in the early morning or on weekends. Mountain climbing is an excellent aerobic exercise. If you climb a hill at a speed of 2 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes, the energy consumed is about 500kcal, which is equivalent to the energy consumed by swimming for 45 minutes. Although mountain climbing is fun, there are some things to pay attention to. If you don't control the intensity well, it is easy to hurt your body.

Therefore, you must do warm-up exercises before climbing a mountain to get your muscles and joints moving. Similarly, after climbing, you must also do some cleanup and relaxation activities, such as continuing to walk on flat ground for about 5 minutes after going down the mountain. It is best to keep your heart rate at 120-140 beats per minute during mountain climbing.
