Do you consider that you are the type of people who are adventurous, who like to live new experiences and who set themselves greater and greater challenges? Do you like to live on the edge of the abyss? Do you enjoy the tingling in your stomach that produces a strong adrenaline rush?

Everything You Need To Know About Mountaineering

If you answered yes to at least a couple of these questions, you’re probably a person who enjoys playing extreme sports. In your case, it is all or nothing, because there are no intermediate points or a comfort zone where you can stay.

You constantly need to get out of the boredom of everyday life to drain all the accumulated tension and to release the stress generated by city life. Therefore, you resort to places where you can be in contact with nature and thus reconnect with nature and yourself.

Actually, within extreme sports there is a lot to choose from. There are those that have to do with heights, quickly, with maximum physical resistance, among others. However, how many of them manage to combine adrenaline with the tranquility of nature? It may seem to you that there is no such activity. However, you couldn’t be further from the truth.

Have you ever heard of mountaineering? What do you relate this word to? Yes, with the mountains. But what is it about? How is it practiced? What risks are you taking? What do you need to practice it? Is it a group or solitary activity? Should you be an expert?

If you would like to do mountaineering, you need to answer each and every one of these questions, since it is an unconventional activity that you do not have much knowledge of. However, in this article, you can be aware of these and other aspects related to this activity to practice it whenever you want. Without further ado, let’s get into the matter right now.

Instructions

It is a sport that consists of walking and hiking in the mountains, going up and down them. Its main motivation is the destination, the mountains and its routes are of greater difficulty.

Depending on the goal of the mountaineer, if you want to reach the top of the mountain, it can be defined as Ascension. However, if it requires any climbing technique, then it is known as Mountaineering.

In addition, we can say that it is not a simple sport, it is also a recreational activity that is related to the exploration of the environment, as well as the love for nature.

On the other hand, it should be noted that it is one of the sports that has the greatest history and tradition in the life of man. It originated in the Alps by the end of the eighteenth century, hence it is also known as mountaineering.

Among the most famous mountaineers are the first two people who reached the top of Mount Everest, which is more than 8, <> meters high.

Its features

To practice this sport requires a series of skills, some of them are: rock climbing, rappelling, etc. Unlike hiking, the difficulty, the duration of the climbs and the presence of dangerous conditions are greater.

It can also involve having to spend a night, or even more, in the mountains, which requires the use of a lot of equipment and, usually, is practiced in a group or, at least, in pairs.

Depending on the type of terrain, the height of the mountain and the weather conditions, mountaineering excursions can be classified into low, medium and high mountain. However, this classification varies depending on where in the world we are.

As for the low mountain, in Spain it reaches up to 1500 meters. It is an area where vegetation abounds and there are few rocks. In this type of terrain hiking is usually practiced.

In relation to the middle mountain, the height in Spain ranges from 1500 meters to 2500. It consists of a landscape full of robust trees and rocks. In the winter season there is usually snow. Due to these characteristics, it is common to practice hiking and trekking.

Finally, the high mountain goes from 2500 meters onwards. Its terrain is usually rocky and with no vegetation. Its temperatures are extreme and it is ideal for mountaineering.

On the other hand, within mountaineering we can find different disciplines, depending on their difficulty, their objective and the materials used, some of them are the following:

  1. Hiking: they are nothing more than walks made by the low and medium mountain, whose difficulty is of less intensity. In general, excursions do not usually last more than one day and are made by roads and trails that are signposted. Therefore, it is also known by the name of hiking.
  2. Mountaineering: it is mountaineering that takes place in the high mountains. Your goal is to reach mountains by overcoming some difficulties, such as rocks, snow and ice. Therefore, the use of specific materials is needed, such as crampons, harness, helmet, ropes, etc.
  3. The Ascents: this type of mountaineering is carried out in medium and high mountains and its objective is to reach the top, so it may require climbing in some sections. It usually does not merit the use of technical material. However, depending on the conditions of the terrain and the time in which you want to make the ascent, it may be necessary to use technical materials, such as rope, rackets, crampons, etc.
  4. Climbing: consists of making ascents or ascents on walls of great inclination. Therefore, it requires the support of hands and feet to be able to climb with the use of materials, such as harness, ropes, helmet, etc.
  5. Mountain skiing: it is a type of mountaineering, in this case a winter one, which is done with skis.

What You Need

When practicing mountaineering you must have:

  •  Water and food, which must go inside a backpack.
  •  A helmet to be protected against landslides of sand and rocks.
  •  The appropriate strings.
  •  The pythons to dig into the rocks and thus anchor the ropes or screws, in case the mountain is full of ice.
  •  A harness to hold the ropes.
  •  Depending on the terrain, special shoes or boots may be needed for climbing.
  •  Different devices that are connected to the ropes and that allow the realization of different types of movements, such as carabiners or rappelling devices.
  •  Gloves, which must be elastic and made of synthetic fiber.
  •  Sunglasses and blizzard glasses. These are very important to avoid phototalmy and other eye problems that are caused by the incidence of ultraviolet and infrared rays in the eyes.

Since it seems to be a sport that carries certain risks, have you ever wondered what are the advantages of practicing it? Let’s look at it right now.

Councils

  • Mountain walks strengthen the muscles of the buttocks and legs, much more than practicing other types of exercise.
  • In the climbs you get resistance and toning of the muscles, while, in the descents, their elasticity increases.
  • It provides psychological benefits, since contact with nature generates a feeling of tranquility and peace of mind.
  • It prevents heart disease, as well as arthritis and low back pain, as they activate circulation.

However, as expected, not everything is rosy. This sport also carries a number of disadvantages. But what are they?

Its disadvantages

  1. The weather: sudden changes in weather can transform, in a couple of minutes, a perfect day of climbing into a nightmare, a situation that could be life-threatening. Therefore, it is best to start the climb very early, before dawn, to be able to finish it at noon.
  2. The equipment: when it is in poor condition, it can result in serious injury or even death, in the event of a fall. As for traditional ascents, it is necessary to have knowledge on how to install the equipment safely.
  3. As for their clothing, it should be necessary to bundle up and unwrap quickly. Clothing should be warm and solid, but also comfortable. They must be garments that facilitate blood circulation and appropriate footwear. Otherwise, a lot of mishaps could arise during the tour.
  4. Fauna: you must know how to deal with insect bites. In addition, there is the possibility of having contact with poisonous plants and vipers, which can be lurking among the shadows of the cracks and crevices, which are used as supports to climb the walls of the rocks.
  5. Also, it must be clear that there is the possibility of falling stones, landslides, avalanches, snow, glacial cracks, cold blizzards, etc.

Main causes of risk

In addition to this, there are general causes that can cause different types of accidents. Some of them are:

  • Ignorance.
  • Inexperience.
  • Not having enough knowledge about mountaineering.
  • Having defective or incomplete equipment.
  • Having a poor physical condition.
  • Overconfidence on the part of experienced staff, etc.

Regardless of whether it is a professional or an amateur, anyone who decides to carry out activities in the mountains must keep in mind that it is not free of dangers. In addition, despite all the training you may have, you are always in a constant learning, since the hypothetical situations, sometimes, are far from the real ones.

Therefore, if you decide to practice mountaineering, it is best to seek help from professionals in the field, that you have the necessary equipment and that you take into account all the preventive measures to have a perfect day of hiking.

Easy Exercises to Do Routines at Home

0

It is recommended that people exercise. With the beginning of the pandemic, the entire population has the obligation to remain in the comfort of their homes, and the obligation to wear a mask when going out of the home. Thanks to this, many places where people are concentrated had to close or not admit many people inside the place. And gyms are no exception.

Easy Exercises To Do Routines At Home

This made many people have to start their own exercise routine from home. Many would not do it for the excuse that they do not have the exercise equipment that gyms have. Or that there is no professional to educate them on how to do the exercises.

Don’t discourage yourself. You can exercise from home. Of course, it will not be the same as in the gym, but at least you can have the same process, a little slow but at least it will be something. What really matters is doing the exercise well.

With this, I would like to teach you several exercise routines that you can use to combine them. You can make one day train a muscle, or 2 muscles so as not to overexert the muscle. That is why in this article I will mention some routines for various parts of the body.

But before we start, we would like you to read this article that is about “Running, how to start again”

Arms

Military funds

We will place ourselves in the position of funds, and we will place the arms at the height of the shoulders, remember that the elbows must be attached to your body. And that our feet are a little apart. Once ready, what you are going to do is bend your elbows to lower your body until the upper part of your arms is equal to the ground, and then go up. Doing those 10 or 12 times.

Flexion and rotation

You must put yourself in a flexion position, and then lower to perform the flexion. But when it comes to climbing you will rotate your upper body to extend your arm upwards. To then repeat it again but this time it will be with the other arm. The repetition will be completed until you finish with both arms. And the repetitions can be 10 or 12.

Remember that if you feel you can do more, go ahead, but this is recommended. And if you feel that you can no longer do one of the exercises, only do as many times as you can and move on to the next exercise.

Legs

Squats

Obviously, this exercise should never be missing, since, being the most common, it does not mean that it is bad. In fact, it doesn’t hurt to add it to one of your exercise routines for the day.

What you should do is stand with your legs apart, but not so much. When it comes to going down you must bend your knees. And make sure that the feet do not rise, if not. It would mean that you are doing the exercise wrong. The back should be straight throughout the exercise, the hip should be flexed when going down, and you should look as if you were pulling out your buttocks.

Remember that when you go down, you should not go down completely, but in half. To then climb up to stay straight. You can alternate this exercise and stay in the position when you finish going down for a certain number of seconds. When descending and ascending, you must do it slowly. It doesn’t have to be so fast, or so slow. Because otherwise the muscles won’t do much.

When you notice that your legs, buttocks and quadriceps of the thighs start to hurt. That means that you are noticing the results of that exercise.

Abdominal

Lying on the floor

This everyone knows, and it is that you must be lying on a somewhat soft surface. You have to put your back completely straight and touch the ground. Then you flex your legs to put your feet glued to the ground.

Now, to start with the exercise, you must climb with the only help of the trunk. No momentum or anything, just the trunk. In order to go up completely or almost completely. To then slowly lower towards the ground. And you keep going up to a number of repetitions.

Leg lift

For this exercise you must be in the same position as the previous exercise. The only difference is that you must have equally straight legs. And for starters, you should raise your legs or higher than you can, as long as they go straight. And that your body is also straight with the ground. Also, you do it slowly. And again, you can choose the number of reps you want as well as the number of sets you want to do.

Remember that these are not the only exercises there are, so we would like you to read other articles that are related to this “How to exercise the muscles of the face”.

Squeeze your buttocks and abdomen in order to have a good balance and stability. And so, we won’t be able to get an injury to our back.

As for the grip, this must be important, it can be supine or prone, anyway, each grip will depend on what type of muscle in particular you want to exercise.

Triceps dips

This exercise is very simple, but still the result is very good, this helps you to enhance the muscles of your triceps well. When you are going to do it, you will only need a low table or a chair for better comfort.

  • It does not contain gluten or lactose. This makes it a perfect ingredient for people who are lactose intolerant, it works as the perfect substitute for it. Not to mention that it helps people with gastrointestinal problems or that they complicate the realization of a correct digestion.
  • High content of minerals and vitamins. It is a carrier of vitamin E (a natural antioxidant) and all vitamins belonging to group B. As for minerals we can mention zinc, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium.
  • Source of potassium. As we know, potassium is synonymous with energy, so ingesting it after a workout will help recompose the “battery” of your body.
  • Source of calcium. Cow’s milk is reputed to be the greatest carrier of natural calcium, but the truth is that this is propaganda. It has been proven that almond milk has even more calcium than cow’s milk.

Exercises that make up the abdominal routine in circuit.

The following list describes the important points that must be taken into consideration for a correct execution of the exercise. In addition to identifying the number of repetitions that should be given.

Crunch (12 repetitions).

For the execution of this exercise, we must place our back on the floor, you can use a quilt to not feel the rigidity of the floor and to be able to make the movement more comfortable. Once on the ground, what proceeds is to pick up the legs so that our knees are elevated, and start making the movement.

As simple as trying to touch the ceiling with your hands, we go up and down, the climb can be done by taking an impulse with the arms, but downhill it is important to do it slowly, controlling the tension in the abdomen. This exercise can be complemented by giving a complete rise of the torso to the knees, and the next only bending the upper abdomen. If this exchange is made, the repetition will be valid only when both exercises have been executed.

Leg Lifts (12 repetitions).

Even if you move off the floor, you have to put your hands under your buttocks. And position your legs completely straight to the floor. The technique consists of raising the legs until they are perpendicular to the floor. And then go down, WATCH OUT! When going down do not lower your legs completely, stop for a moment halfway and then raise your legs again to be perpendicular to the ground and finally lower them slowly.

While it seems like a complicated exercise, the truth is that it is not, it is just a matter of you trying to realize it. Remember that this is an alternating exercise, so a repetition will only be counted when you have climbed, lowered to the middle, climbed again and culminated with the descent. Always try to make the movement in a slow and controlled way.

Crunch variant (12 repetitions).

The third exercise of this abdominal routine is a variant of the first. E which we can call “Short Crunch”. We will raise our legs a little, almost as if we were sitting, but on the floor. And with the hands located behind the nape of the neck, we will try to contract the upper abdomen.

Remember that the pressure or force should be felt in the area you work, that is. In the upper abdomen, nothing to be doing force with the neck, if after doing the exercise your neck hurts more than the abdomen, it is because you executed the exercise badly.

Iron (45 seconds).

To finish the abdominal routine at home, we must close the circuit with 30 seconds of ironing. This exercise does not consist of making any movement, on the contrary, you should only adopt the posture present in the image and try to concentrate the pressure of the body on the abdomen. It seems harmless or absurd, but the truth is that you will feel how your abdomen burns during those 30 seconds.

Natural ways to reduce your double chin.

Believe it or not, getting rid of your double chin can start right away at home. Exercise is a natural way to burn fat in our bodies. So, by exercising the muscles around the double chin, you can gradually eliminate this submental fat.

Of course, you should perform these exercises regularly for best results. Some of these facial exercises can get the jaw muscles moving, burning the stubborn fat of the jowls slowly but surely.

Regular full-body exercise (both cardio and strength training) will also help reduce your lower chin and promote your body’s overall health as an added benefit.

Complementary feeding for facial exercises.

Focusing on your body’s nutritional intake can also help you get rid of your extra chin. Try to consume more vegetables and fruits on a daily basis, and stay away from processed and fried foods, as well as those high in sugar and fat.

However, some fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids, can be beneficial for skin and overall health. Avocados, nuts, olive oil and fish contain these healthy fats. By focusing on your diet, you could lose weight and also some of the submental fat responsible for double chin.

Dermatological treatments for double chin.

In some cases, no matter how healthy you are overall, your double chin will persist. This is where cosmetic dermatology treatments come in handy. These treatments will focus on stubborn fat that neither exercise nor diet can overcome.

Facial moisturizers.

Moisturizers containing certain vitamins and botanical extracts can help firm the skin while moisturizing it and restoring its youthful appearance. Look for products specifically labeled to firm or tighten the neck. These often contain vitamin C, green tea extracts, collagen, and other products.

Applicators, straps and nozzles.

Various devices can also be used to reduce double chin. Chin applicators adhere to the skin and are infused with substances such as collagen, caffeine, and vitamins to help restore skin elasticity. Face straps or belts attach to the face and gently tighten the skin in the submental area. And the mouthpieces help perform jaw exercises that stimulate muscle growth and burn fat.

Massage tools.

Massagers designed to tighten the neck can also be helpful in reducing double chin. These tools can stimulate collagen production for more elastic skin, burn fat, and help blood circulate more easily.

Lipolysis treatments.

If you want faster results, you can look into lipolysis treatments to get rid of your double chin. There are two main types of lipolysis treatments for double chin reduction: injection and laser. Injection lipolysis involves the injection of a solution that digests fat cells, reducing double chin. Patients should receive this treatment several times at intervals of 4-6 weeks for best results.

Laser lipolysis also targets fat cells, but it is non-invasive, as it melts fat using the thermal energy of a laser beam. Both procedures are relatively painless, although side effects such as swelling, bruising, and pain may occur afterward.

These dead fat cells are eventually expelled by the body, leaving you with a more defined chin. If you’re fed up with your chin fat, any of these treatments, or some combination of them, can restore your chin to its ideal state.

Certain methods can be more or less effective for your specific case, whichever method you choose, let us know your experiences or recommendations.
