Rock climbing and/or swimming are great ways to achieve these goals. The nature of the sports are such that it pushes the body hollistically.
Plus rock climbing is fun and mentally challenging, like chess with your body.
- TheHegemon 7y agoI would second this. I took up bouldering and it's amazing how much more energy I have. My lower-back pain from sitting has nearly disappeared. It's a true full-body workout (including the brain).
- valtism 7y agoIt's not so good for lower body or cardio. Supplementing it with something like cycling can really help get the whole shebang.
- etherealG 7y agoWhile I agree supplementing with cycling or running is great, on the boulders if you’re too “top heavy” try focusing on “wobbly” problems more. Find a gym with a slab wall, and practice balance style climbing where you don’t need strength in the arms & shoulders. Doing that regularly will balance out the legs portion easily if biking or running isn’t your thing.
- anthonypasq 7y agono it wont. Its not even remotely stimulating enough compared to actual lower body exercise.
- elbear 7y agoI would add buying a kettlebell and starting to do swings and Turkish get-up. They're energizing and work almost your entire body in a functional way.
- starpilot 7y agoI'd add hiking or running to this. I've seen my coworkers get winded walking hilly sidewalks, any type of ambulatory work is at the heart of human function.
