Wall Climbing: Your Way To Good Health.

Wall climbing is an uber popular indoor sport that is attracting fitness buffs and thrill seekers. Its ability to boost metabolism, strengthen the core, tone muscles and provide a certified high makes it an irresistible attraction.

The sport isn’t all that new – the first wall was created in the UK in 1964 – but wall climbing is a modern hit – in parks, schools, fairs and amusement parks.

Exactly what benefits does wall climbing deliver? 

1. Wall climbing burns a lot of calories. Even moderate wall climbing can make you lose 400 to 600 calories in just an hour. This is because the sport maximizes the use of muscles in your legs, arms, chest, back and core. Think of how many more calories you can burn when you go extreme!

2. It promotes cardiovascular health. The wall climbing work out gets your heart pumping -- not only because you get an adrenaline rush when you go up the rocks. The amount of strength you use to pull your body weight up lets your heart and organs deliver blood vigorously and deepen your breathing. The cardio vascular benefits from climbing improves metabolism, reduces the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. It also gives you more energy and lets you sleep better.

3. It tones muscles and improves flexibility. As you climb and defy gravity, the leg muscles – particularly the hamstring and quadriceps -- harden to support body weight and maintain their flexibility to reach the next foothold. Climbing requires ab/core involvement which tones the tummy, one of the most stubborn areas where fat builds up.

 4. It exercises your mind.  Climbing involves problem solving, focus and strategy as you plan your route upwards.  It requires a high level of mind and body coordination to respond to the task at hand. The basic challenge of wall climbing is to concentrate on finishing while conquering numerous difficulties. Wall climbing can make you sharp. 

5. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. Whether you’re overcoming your fear of heights, working your muscles or navigating your way along the footholds, reaching the top of the wall always provides a sense of fulfillment. That exhilarating thrill of pushing yourself beyond your limits and winning over your limitations provides a sense of triumph that makes you feel victorious.

There is an opportunity to try indoor wall climbing at the R.O.X.in Bonifacio High Street, Taguig on September 13-15, September 20-22 and September 27-29. 

When you climb, just make sure you wear the proper gear and protection that will keep you safe from injury.3M Futuro®, one of the participating brands in the weekend activities, has products specially suited for the prevention and care of sports injuries such as Futuro® Sport Moisture Control Knee support, Futuro® Sport Adjustable Wrist Support, and Futuro® Sport Adjustable Ankle Support.

Boost Your Energy Level by NESTLÉ

Want to get fit? Want to get tips to boost your energy level? 

To get through a very busy day, you need energy – lots of it. But if your own fuel tank is nearly empty, your day doesn't pause and wait for you. And so to keep up with it, to boost your energy level, you need to refuel and recharge. Here are some easy ways to do just that.

Reduce stress and negativity

Fear and anxiety as well as stress sap your energy. They make you feel tired not just physically but also mentally, so relax. Banish those bad vibes by actively finding time for fast relaxation every day. Do what makes you happy, be it playing your favorite song, drinking a glass of warm milk, or chatting with a good friend.

Eat right

Eat whole grains and magnesium-rich food to keep your energy levels high. Whole grains – found in food like NESTLÉ Breakfast Cereals – help in the steady release of energy, keeping your energy level balanced and consistent. That's much better than the sugar high you get after indulging in a sweet snack; you do get a burst of energy, but it suddenly drops. 

As for magnesium, it also aids in releasing energy. If you don't get enough of this mineral, your body works harder to accomplish physical tasks, according to the Human Nutrition Research Center of the US Department of Agriculture. Get your daily fill of magnesium from a handful of nuts like cashew, whole grains, and fish.

Meditate for a moment

Got a minute? Good. Recharge your tired brain through minute-long meditation. Find a quiet spot in the office, at home, or wherever you find yourself. Take five deep breaths, and focus on each as you inhale and exhale. Do this exercise at the start of your day and right after lunch; meditating can ward off that afternoon drowsiness.

Take a walk

Why walk when your energy level is already low? Walking actually boosts it.  A brisk, 10-minute walk can energize you for two hours, according to a California State study. Do it every day for three weeks and you'll experience an overall energy – and even mood – boost. Stroll outdoors if you can, or choose to take the stairs at the office to get your daily dose of walking.
