Abseiling can be a great activity to promote all-around health and fitness. But it’s not all that not popular because people associate it with scary descents, challenging terrains, and it’s not very accessible to the general public. Abseiling happens to be an amazing workout and here are five reasons to take the plunge and think about taking it up.
Strengthens Core Muscles
Abseiling requires a strong and uncompromising core. When making a descent, you have to engage your abs, back, and trunk muscles.
Total Body Workout
In addition to engaging the core, abseiling also requires the use of all the muscles in your body. You need to use your arms to lower yourself down and your legs to navigate the rock face.
Improves Confidence and Determination
Overcoming fears and doing something that you didn’t think you could do helps you build confidence and determination. Abseiling is a great way to keep setting yourself new challenges and overcoming them.
Can Explore the Great Outdoors
Taking up abseiling is also a good way to get yourself out adventuring and exploring nature or even just your local environment.
Accessible
But the most important thing is that abseiling is not for the extreme sport’s elite. You can take it up today at your local abseiling or rock climbing group and see yourself transformed.
