Fun Ways to Get Fit: Indoor Rock Climbing

March 10, 2019 Comments : 40

Looking for other workouts besides the gym in order to get fit and healthy? Wondering if indoor rock climbing would be right for you and your children as a physical activity? Check out why indoor rock climbing is a great way for the entire family to get fit. | Work outs | Healthy Living | Get fit tips | Healthy tips | Healthy family | Weightloss | Workout motivation |

I hate working out. Really. Going to the gym takes the joy out of my life and I usually always find some excuse not to physically go. In an effort to lose weight and get healthier I decided to seek out a gym that not only had workout equipment but classes as well in an effort to learn better workout routines for women.

I’m a variety kind of gal and if I have options other then the treadmill and weights I am more apt to participate but I also enjoy finding other fun ways to get fit. Over the next few months, I plan to try out new workout options and share them with you! So if your like me and need more physical activity options then a traditional gym offers, these posts are for you!

Workout Variety: Indoor Rock Climbing

There are 2 main rock climbing gyms in the Portland area. One is Evo Rock + Fitness and the other is Salt Pump Climbing Co. Both offer day passes to those who don’t want to pay for a membership and have options for kids, since the kids were coming with us and both going to try out rock climbing for the first time. I decided to check out Salt Pump this time around.

Arriving

The first thing that I noticed was how friendly the staff was. This was our first time ever doing any type of rock climbing and the staff was knowledgeable and helpful with any questions that we had. You have to pay for a day pass as well as equipment rental so this is not exactly a cheap way to get fit but it was actually really fun and a great physical activity for the kids. The facility itself offers many climbing walls as well as bouldering (climbing without ropes).

The Experience

I will let you in on a little secret of mine: I am terrified of heights. So the idea of climbing straight up a wall that is 45 feet height didn’t exactly excite me. I will say though, after multiple attempts I was never going to make it to the top, at least not this time around so my fear of heights was unfounded.

After several attempts of attempting to maneuver the walls and cling to the small little “rocks” for dear life, I finally got the hang of it. You begin to find what works for you and the best paths to take. The best part about being a first timer is that there are multiple spots where you have the option of auto-belay. This means that you don’t have to know how to tie in or have someone with you while climbing.

I will say that we all had fun climbing! It started to become a challenge to see if we could get further then we did the lat time or find a different path to take. Once we became more comfortable with the auto-belay system, the kids especially, started to become more confident in what they were doing.

It was also a really good workout. My arms and legs were burning afterwards and I felt really tired (I am also probably not in the best shape to be rock climbing). In total we spent almost 2 hours there. It was great that not only was I getting a workout, but the kids were as well and they were having fun!

    Indoor rock climbing is a fun activity and it engages the kids and takes away their fear factor after they climb and fall a few times. They are now including this in many team events at workplaces to improve team building exercises.

    Whether you’re rock climbing indoors or out, the rock climbing session provides a good workout. During this time you build stamina, strengthen your muscles and increase your heart rate to work cardio. … But the sport also tests your core body muscles and legs to enable you to find the right balance during your climb.

As a mom, one of the scariest things is to have a As a mom, one of the scariest things is to have a sick child, and as a nurse, I know how disruptive health issues can be on the lives of children and teens. Thankfully The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center is close by and provides high quality healthcare to the many children of Maine, and today, BBCH became one of the first hospitals in the country to receive the Connecting Joy grant from the @dunkin Joy in Childhood Foundation! #DunkinPartner
 
Maine’s Dunkin’ franchisees have given more than $500,000 to The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital since 2012, mainly through the annual Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day campaign fundraiser (taking place on May 25th this year!). On Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day, $1 from every iced coffee sold at participating Maine Dunkin’ locations will be donated to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation to bring joy to kids at BBCH. (Excludes Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew.)
The $87k @JoyInChildhood grant will help bring joy through gaming experiences to pediatric patients with the hope of normalizing their stays at hospitals. Children that are living with chronic illness or dealing with a hospitalization are at greater risk than their peers for the impact of stress and anxiety. Distraction is a healthy coping mechanism for kids and teens to disengage with the hospital environment. Gaming provides the perfect escape to play, relax, laugh and experience joy.This grant will have an immediate impact by adding structure and staff support for gaming as part of the hospitals’ Child Life Program. 
Today, a Dunkin’ sampling truck provided free small, iced coffees and Munchkins to more than 1,000 Maine Medical Center employees in Portland and Scarborough. 
 
Dunkin’ is not only supporting the children of Maine, but the healthcare workers too. So, make sure to grab an iced coffee at Dunkin’ on May 25th to help support these wonderful programs as well!

A little over halfway there. Even though hitting A little over halfway there. 
Even though hitting these milestones feels slight reassuring, I know I won’t fully be able to breath until this little one is out and healthy. Even appointments bring about their own set of fears that something may be wrong. For now, I’m just taking it day by day and week by week and having hope that everything will be ok.

Any other moms or moms to be out there forgo the weekly pictures? I just can’t ever get my shit together enough to remember to take them. Tell me I’m not the only one.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn’t enjoy pregnancy on this platform.
I love the end result and am so grateful to be creating a new life but lately I have had more bad days then good days. 

I’m exhausted, sick and barely have enough energy to get through the things that I need to do let alone the things that I used to enjoy like working out. The stress of trying to figure out how I’m going to get through the next 18 weeks has been overwhelming to me lately. 
I will still share the joys but I also think it’s more realistic to share the downfalls too so hopefully hearing that not all pregnant women glow 24/7 can give those who are struggling as well someone to relate to. 

Follow along for more relatable mom and pregnancy content and share with me your struggles in the comments.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn’t enjoy pregnancy on this platform.
I love the end result and am so grateful to be creating a new life but lately I have had more bad days then good days. 

I’m exhausted, sick and barely have enough energy to get through the things that I need to do let alone the things that I used to enjoy like working out. The stress of trying to figure out how I’m going to get through the next 18 weeks has been overwhelming to me lately. 
I will still share the joys but I also think it’s more realistic to share the downfalls too so hopefully hearing that not all pregnant women glow 24/7 can give those who are struggling as well someone to relate to. 

Follow along for more relatable mom and pregnancy content and share with me your struggles in the comments.

Just a little reminder that @dunkin still has 2 me Just a little reminder that @dunkin still has 2 medium iced coffees for only $5! What better way to reconnect then by grabbing an iced coffee for you and one for a friend?

This fun Dunkin’ pop up Dunkin’ Connections was the perfect spot to grab this cute photo op! Even the kids had fun trying to learn how to use an actual phone!
