Climbing and training for climbing can be pretty taxing on the body and it's pretty common to have plenty of aches and pains. Muscle tightness is something I encounter regularly after training and sitting at work all day doesn’t help things either.
Stretching does help with some of this, but more recently I’ve started using a foam roller. I found it really helps to target knots and tightness in both my upper and lower body.
There are plenty of different rollers around, but I’ve recently picked up some of the rollers from Black roll and really love how light and portable they are.
In this video I'll show you the go-to foam rolling exercises I use to help with mobility for my climbing.
Getting your fingers warm can be difficult at some climbing locations, especially if the rock is steep. Pulling on before a good climbing warm up can increase the chances of an injury, and without some friendly jugs around this can be difficult.
I’ve been trialling the Awesome Woodys Cliff Board Micro for a little while now and found it perfect in this situation. It is also a great training board if you rent, or are on the move a lot as it is super small and really versatile.
In this video, I'll show you how you can warm up effectively before you climb.
