Jan 18, 2024 · What is Urban Climbing? While it may appear as sort of a “punk rock” pursuit, urban climbing – or ‘Buildering’ – is starting to become a legitimized practice within the greater world of climbing. At its bones, it is the scaling of any man-made structure – high rises, low rises, skyscrapers, bridges, etc – almost as if it were any other rock face.

Pick five or more of these exercises and do them at least three (and up to five) times a week for best resultsAdd as many sets or exercises as you need to feel the burn; you should be struggling to complete the last setDo these any time—end of a climbing session, on a rest day, in the morning before work—but avoid doing them right before you climb, as this could make your base tired and give you poor, injury-caus...A good core workout hits all aspects of your trunk, not just the abs in the front. Each of these exercises has varied motions to work your front, back, and sidesStart on the jugs of a hangboard or a pull-up bar. Keep your arms straight, shoulders engaged (squeeze shoulder blades together), and legs straight down. Lift your legs up so your hips are at 90°, without bending your knees. When you lower back down, keep your body as still as possible (you’ll have a tendency to swing). Raise your legs again withou...
Stand straight, feet shoulder-distance apart. Choose a dumbbell that will provide good resistance; 15 pounds is a good starting point. Hold it in your left hand and slowly lower your left shoulder straight down, as far as it will go. Try to keep your right hip in line with your body; don’t let it jut out to the side. In a controlled motion, bring t...
Lie with your back on the ground, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Hold a weight plate (start with 20 lbs.) near the ground with arms straight out from your head. Using momentum, do a sit-up with the plate in the air, get your feet under you near your butt, and stand up all the way—keeping the plate in the air. Lie back down in the starting posi...
Those wheelbarrow races you did as a kid are actually great for your core. Get into a high plank, with your hands directly below your shoulders. Have a partner lift you by your ankles. Keeping your body straight (don’t dip at the waist) and looking straight ahead, move your right hand forward about six inches. Then move your left hand up six inches...
Start in a high plank. Bend one leg and bring your knee to just outside the corresponding elbow. This should open your groin up to the ground as you move your knee up. Return to starting position and repeat with the other leg. Keep it controlled but maintain a steady pace. Do this for one minute.
Pick two weights that are in the high end of your comfort range. Holding one in each hand, start walking. For this motion to be effective, keep your core tight and your posture straight, standing as tall as you can. Either go for distance (50 yards) or time (1 minute). If you want to test yourself, walk until your arms are about to give out; just b...
Begin in a C-sit position, knees bent at 90°, abs engaged so upper body is off the floor, and just heels on the ground. Put both arms straight above your head, holding palms together. While keeping your upper and lower body completely still, slowly lower your arms down to the right of your hip, tap the floor, and bring them back up overhead. Now lo...
With a full-body burn, it’s hard to ignore planks as an effective core-strengthening exercise, but here are a few variations to keep it interesting. For each, keep muscles engaged and actively holding the plank. Start with three rounds of one minute, resting one minute between rounds.
Start with legs a little wider than shoulder width, and bend at the waist, keeping your back flat and head up. Use a lightweight kettlebell and go around your right leg with your right hand, then pass it under your right leg to your left hand. Repeat on the left side. That’s one rep; repeat 15 times.

2 days ago · Core Climbing Cornubia. 146 Bryants Rd, Shailer Park QLD 4128. Okay, so this one isn’t technically on the Gold Coast, but we think it’s close enough to earn a mention. Core Climbing in Logan differs from its sibling gym as the focus here is high ropes, but they still maintain that Core quality that we’ve come to know and love.
May 15, 2023 · Urbancore is an aesthetic based on the imagery of China’s intense urban scenery. Unlike the hiking/ camping/ high-performance outdoor activity-inspired mountaincore and gorpcore styles of 2022, this trend revolves around the lighter variety of urbanite undertakings such as getting to and from the office and casual hangouts—think picnics or ...
