Mountaineering experience

Do some exercise

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.

Increase bounce

When climbing upward, intentionally add some bouncing movements in each step, which not only saves energy, but also makes people look energetic and full of vitality.

Don't always look up

Don't always look up when climbing, especially at the beginning of climbing, because your legs are not yet accustomed to the climbing movement, and looking up often makes people feel tired. Generally speaking, when climbing, it is best to keep your eyes three to five meters ahead of you. If the mountain road is steep, you can climb in a "Z" shape, which is more labor-saving.

Shifting attention

When climbing a mountain, don't always think about how high the mountain is or how long it will take to climb it. Only by taking your time and stopping as you go can you experience the fun of climbing and not miss the beautiful scenery. When you feel tired, you can take in the scenery around you or sing a song to divert your attention, which will help alleviate your tiredness.
