Rock climbing is an intense, full body activity that is absolutely awesome for your entire body! Rock climbing has a tremendous effect on your cardiovascular health and greatly helps reduce the risk of heart disease, it also provides calorie burning power, all over muscle toning, an increased concentration, and improved endurance.

The indoor climbing walls will work you out just as hard as the real thing. On average an hour of rock climbing will burn around 700 calories.
