Is climbing good for your body in the long term? 28-May-2014 At 11:00:30 AM mattbrooks

There is an old chinese saying, that translates into English as;

"Life is movement, movement brings life" - having been a fitness trainer prior to my current career, I saw the predicament many had got themselves into through years of no activity at all. So my translation was use it or lose it.

This was confirmed for me when I went to a 20 year school reunion and saw alot of my class mates who had done nothing since leaving high school. I look all all my climbing friends, many aged 30 - 50+ and thereare in far better condition than many 20 year younger than them who are less activie.

I have a few aches and pains from training and climbing for 25 years now but otherwise make a mockery of the fitness of many my age. Besides I would go nuts without the outdoors and an active lifestyle.
