Indoor climbing: super fun, super workout.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we enter February some people\u2019s New Year\u2019s resolutions and best laid plans may have fallen by the wayside, while others might be starting to feel the pinch. The best ways to give your health kick a boost is to introduce some adrenaline and adventure.<\/p>\n

Bobbing in place on a health club treadmill is one thing, but there are a number of action-packed activities to get your heart pounding, blood flowing and fat burning while having a lot more fun.<\/p>\n

Indoor climbing<\/a> is an exciting and hugely rewarding pursuit, and the low-impact nature of the sport means it\u2019s perfect for just about anybody. It improves total body fitness, as well as problem solving skills. But that\u2019s not all. Climbing exercises can also greatly expand your social circle.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need superhuman strength to enjoy your climb and ridiculously large biceps aren\u2019t necessary at all. Your journey up the wall will engage every part of your body. You\u2019ll develop coordination, strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and, most importantly, you\u2019ll blast away as many calories as any other fitness program would. Plus, you\u2019ll be flexing that big muscle known as your brain, because half the battle is mapping the most successful route for your ascent.<\/p>\n

The Activity People<\/a> offer a number of climbing<\/a> experiences around the country, but if you\u2019re based in the North Yorkshire area, why not test your skills upon our 14m high indoor walls in Harrogate?<\/p>\n

The impressive facility boasts 66 indoor climbing lines with an average of 190 routes set in the centre at any one time. You\u2019ll also find awesome feed and top roping areas set with routes graded from 3 to 8a and beyond. This means that there\u2019s suitable climbing conditions whatever your level of skill.<\/p>\n

This includes the complete beginner, who will undoubtedly benefit from one of our in depth Taster Sessions. The hour long exercise gets you onto the wall with a fully qualified instructor, who\u2019ll teach you the basics and allow you to squeeze in as much climbing action as possible within the time. You\u2019ll benefit a great deal from their tuition, and you\u2019re likely to get hooked on the sport.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, even your little ones are invited too with the site regularly hosting kids climbing parties. The wacky wall-climbing action will keep the youngsters gripped for the whole of their 1 and a half hour session, and a range of party food can also be included in the package.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great way for them to have fun with their friends, and once you have caught the climbing bug, you\u2019re likely to make a whole host of new friends, too. Through The Activity People<\/a> and our various climbing centres, you\u2019ll be introduced to an entirely new social circle. Many climbing endeavours require the partnership of a climber and \u2018belayer\u2019 and the development of an understanding between the two.<\/p>\n
