In this article, there is a lot on information on the benefits of rock climbing and what it can do for your body. It was very informative in showing how rock climbing has effects on cardiovascular health, muscle gain/tone, and weight loss, and why it does benefit these things in your body.

 Not only did I learn what muscles rock climbing targets, and how long you should do it for, I learned why you would lose weight or gain muscles doing this. I feel much better about myself rock climbing now since I know it's not just a fun thing to do, but it is a full body workout, although it works mostly your upper body. If I start rock climbing often, I should notice drastic increase in my upper body strength without having to lift any weights or use fancy machines, simply by using my own body weight I can get the same results, while having fun!
