What are the benefits of mountain climbing?

1. Climbing to lift your buttocks and shape your body

You should know that the most effective place to lose weight when climbing is the buttocks. If the fat on the buttocks is too thick, the buttocks are sagging or too flat, it will affect the beauty of the buttocks curve. If you want to have attractive buttocks curves and tight buttocks muscles, you must exercise the buttocks accordingly. During the climbing process, the thigh muscles will drive the buttocks muscles to move together, tightening the buttocks, making them tighter and more elastic. This repeated flexion and extension process can exercise the buttocks muscles of girls, thereby shaping attractive buttocks lines.

2. Mountain climbing is good for mental health

Confucius said: "When you climb Dongshan, you will look down on Lu; when you climb Mount Tai, you will look down on the world!" Du Fu even wrote in a poem: "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains!" Why do all these literati and poets like to climb mountains since ancient times? Is it because climbing mountains can make people get closer to nature and cultivate their sentiments? People in modern urban life live in a forest of steel and concrete all day long, how can they compare to the original nature? So why not take some time out on weekends and holidays to go hiking with friends!

3. Climbing can exercise your leg strength and cardiopulmonary function.

As the saying goes, "People age with their feet first." If a person's feet are strong, he or she can run, jump, and walk, and will not age easily. As far as training foot strength is concerned, mountain climbing is the best. The feet are the root of the human body. Regular mountain climbing can enhance the strength of the lower limbs, improve joint flexibility, promote blood return in the veins of the lower limbs, prevent diseases such as varicose veins, osteoporosis, and muscle atrophy, and can effectively stimulate the six meridians of the lower limbs and many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, making the meridians unobstructed and delaying aging. When climbing, the arms swing, and the joints and muscles of the waist, back, and neck are constantly moving, which promotes the metabolism of body energy and enhances cardiopulmonary function. Mountain climbing has the effects of strengthening the body, health care, and auxiliary treatment. Its value is particularly obvious for people who have lived in cities for a long time.

4. Mountain climbing can also stimulate people’s wisdom

Because for those who do mental work indoors all day, hiking in the wild with fresh air is the best active rest. It can relax all the tense brain cells, just like opening the gate that inhibits the development of imagination. All kinds of creative thinking will emerge together and run wild, and new creative work begins again.

What shoes are good for hiking?

There are special hiking shoes for mountain climbing, but the poor quality ones are better not to use. The usable ones cost 600-700 yuan, and the regular ones cost at least 1,000-2,000 yuan. However, those are shoes for trekking through mountains and rivers for dozens of miles a day. They are not used for general mountain climbing. And it takes one or two weeks to get used to new shoes. And those shoes are usually hot, and the ones that are not heavy and hot can cost thousands of yuan.

Therefore, a pair of sports shoes with good friction, breathability, lightness and good fit is enough. Experienced hikers here don't wear hiking shoes if they are only going out for one or two days. Also, if you want to climb a mountain without a right path, make sure the soles are wear-resistant and thick enough.

What kind of food is better to bring when hiking?

1. Energy Food

We should consider whether the basic energy needs can be met, so that we can complete the mountain climbing better. Secondly, the things should not be too heavy, otherwise the food will become a big burden on the mountain climbing road. Of course, we can still consider the purpose of the mountain climbing and bring some food. To meet the basic energy needs, we can bring bread. Bread is an all-purpose food with relatively high energy, small volume and light weight.

2. Drinking water

In addition to energy needs, another basic need is water. The water we bring is best to be ordinary drinking water. Beverages cannot quench thirst at critical moments. For example, it is better to drink boiled water, mineral water, or light salt water. Drinking water appropriately can replenish the sodium lost due to sweating in time. Try not to drink carbonated drinks, fruit juices, or drinks with too much sugar. In addition, avoid drinking ice water and overly cold iced drinks. The temperature of ice water is too low, and the body temperature is too high after a lot of exercise. Drinking ice water at this time will cause cold air to enter the body, causing physical discomfort. In addition, taking in too much water at one time will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, so it should be drunk slowly in small amounts in several times.

3. Fruits and vegetables

Sweating during exercise will cause the body to lose electrolytes, and trace elements need to be replenished in time. Therefore, you can prepare some fruits that replenish vitamins and trace elements for the body, such as apples, cucumbers, tangerines, and oranges. It is recommended to wash vegetables and fruits in advance and eat them immediately after taking them. However, you should consider the backpack's carrying system and do not choose fruits that are too big or too heavy. For example, it is obviously impossible to bring a watermelon to climb a mountain. In addition, climbing a mountain will cause wear and tear, so it is best not to bring fruits that are easy to spoil, such as grapes, bananas, strawberries, etc.

4. Snacks

If you want to relax during your mountain climbing trip, you may want to bring some snacks. Find a cool and beautiful place in the mountains, sit down and rest, and eat and chat. It's wonderful to think about it. For example, shrimp crackers, potato chips, biscuits, etc. If you have the leisure time, you can also bring a bag of melon seeds, sit down and eat melon seeds while watching the beautiful scenery, but you must prepare a bag and never spit out the melon seeds. In addition, bring some braised eggs, chicken feet or chicken legs, ham, hot dogs, fish, pork jerky, beef jerky. These can satisfy friends who love meat.

5. Lightweight and convenient

Friends who need to eat every day can make a small lunch box in advance. If you don’t have time to make it, buying some sushi is also a good idea.

6. Emergency food supplement

It is recommended to bring some chocolate or compressed biscuits. Why should you bring chocolate? Because chocolate is a food that replenishes energy in an emergency, not something you eat when you are bored. In case you have nothing to eat, you can only eat chocolate.
