That’s awesome! Really glad to hear that you also climb. My son and I got into it last year, I had done it a few times with my wife years ago but forgot about it for a while. We are actually going climbing today :D it’s such amazing exercise and it’s really challenging too which is great!!
I think that we definitely need to make sure that we challenge our bodies in the right way and keep the muscles strong in the ways that we can. If we have pain, we figure out how to determine the root cause, often times it’s poor body mechanics and posture related!
Glad that you’ve worked on and improved your body mechanics, looking downwards is a really challenging one on our bodies!
In my early twenties, before my first pregnancy, my husband and I used to climb most Saturdays for about a year. It started out with lead rope climbing, but it was bouldering that we enjoyed more. We tried to take it up again after we moved to Australia in 2008, but at the time Adelaide didn't have a bouldering gym, just a rather small lead climbing one, which we weren't keen on. The bouldering gym we go to now opened 2019, I think...maybe 2018.
I'm so glad your son likes it and you can climb together. I'm really stoked my youngest like it as much as me. My eldest prefers to keep long nails. 😆
It's amazing how climbing helps you find muscles you never knew you had. I discovered quite a few in the first year and it was never in a comfortable way. 😅
