First week back climbing! Yay!
Ignoring the general upper body strength I had lost while walking, I had also lost all my calluses. I had forgotten how sore getting these back would be! And so many days, I feel it was my skin that gave out before my motivation. And seeing as I don't want to blow a tendon or do something silly, this was probably for the best. I guess.
Climbing level is still low, but feel a noted difference each day.
Core Routine:
- 15 crunches
- 7 push-ups
- 15 opposite-knee-and-elbow-touch crunches
- 7 push-ups
- 30 - 45 sec flutter kicks
- 7 push-ups
- 10 climbers planks (per leg)
- Plank race with partner or 60sec if alone
- 7 push-ups
This is what I'm starting with as my core/arms workout. Need to find something else that I can do instead of all the push-ups. Although they're pretty great just to get my arms moving again and not put any strain on tendons or skin.
Lastly - ClimbOn! is the greatest skin thing in the world. I even used it on my feet while I was walking. Thankfully it didn't pick up the smell along the way.
