What are the precautions when going out hiking?

With the continuous progress of society, people pay more and more attention to their own bodies. Many people are also becoming more and more interested in outdoor exercise to improve their physical fitness. Some people make plans with a few friends to go running or hiking every weekend. So what should we pay attention to when doing outdoor activities? Then let's talk about one of the most common outdoor activities, mountain climbing, and what we should pay attention to when climbing.

1. First of all, you must understand in detail the object you want to conquer and do a good job of the preliminary work. Find out the hiking route in advance, plan places to rest and eat, and it is best to have someone you know lead the way to avoid wandering around the mountains blindly.

2. Prepare sports shoes, dry food and water. In summer, be sure to bring enough water, because mountain climbing will make you sweat. If you don’t replenish enough water, you are prone to collapse and heatstroke. You should have some understanding of the mountain's climatic characteristics and try to get a reliable weather forecast before climbing. Bring warm clothes to keep warm in the morning and evening to prevent colds. It is best not to climb on rainy days or one or two days after rain. It is best to carry first aid medicines with you, such as Yunnan Baiyao, hemostatic bandages, etc., so that they can be used in case of falls, bruises, or sprains. But remember to bring the necessities with you and it’s best to pack light.

3. Do warm-up exercises. If the mountain you are going to climb is high or you seldom participate in climbing sports, it is necessary to do some warm-up exercises before climbing. That is, use 10-20 minutes to do some muscle stretching exercises and try to relax the muscles all over your body. This will make you feel much more relaxed when climbing.

4. Do not look around or talk to others while climbing. Pay attention to the conditions of the feet and the surrounding mountains. If you need to take pictures of the scenery, stop and take pictures to avoid unnecessary injuries. If the mountain road is steep, you can climb in a "Z" shape, which will save effort and you should relax when going down the mountain. When going down the mountain, you must control your steps and not rush too fast, as this can easily lead to injury. At the same time, pay attention to relaxing the muscles in the knee area. Tensioning them too much will put greater pressure on the leg joints and cause muscle fatigue. ?

5. The best time to climb the mountain is in the morning or morning, and you should go down the mountain and return to the base in the afternoon. Do not change the climbing route and time without permission. Don't carry the backpack in your hands, but carry it on your shoulders so that you can use both hands to climb. You can also use a sturdy long stick as a walking stick to help you climb. ?

The above is an introduction to the steps and precautions for mountain climbing. I believe that after the above introduction, everyone has a better understanding of some of the main issues in mountain climbing. Climbing mountains is good for your health, but you should also pay more attention to safety. It should also be noted that people who have just undergone surgery or have just recovered from an illness are advised not to do strenuous exercise, such as climbing.
