↡ Training Legs for Climbing? ↡
Leg training can divide opinion in climbing. There’s no doubt that leg exercises will improve your overall strength and mobility, but how does this translate to climbing - and is it worth the effort?
I asked Paddy for five leg exercises that would improve my climbing and bouldering level.
He’s convinced me that stronger and more stable leg muscles should translate directly to better hip positioning on the wall, more strength for rock-overs and slabs, and more tension through my feet. I can definitely see the benefits from conditioning your lower body for climbing, and these exercises are all possible without any special equipment.
I think that leg exercises should be part of any effective training programme for bouldering, and it looks like they’re already part of many climbing athlete training regimes.
Watch Paddy’s tips and see what you think.
