Mountain climbing or mountaineering is no longer just a recreational activity; it has become a popular outdoor sport and a component of sports tourism.
It takes you right into the heart of nature – the sights and smells of the outdoors provide you with a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.

Tendi’s preferred exercise to work the abdominal oblique muscles is the seated twist where the legs are extended forward with knees slightly bent and hands are placed behind the head. Twist from right to left, keeping the core engaged.
If you don't like the seated twist, you can try this standing version where the right hand touches the left knee, and vice versa. Bring the knees as high up as possible.
This gentle jump requires the feet to lift off the floor only slightly. No heavy landing involved.
Push-ups may seem a simple exercise, but they are an essential part of mountaineering training as they work many muscle groups.
