There are days where your regular workout regimen feels a tad too hard to get into. The thought of going to the gym, track or pool doesn’t incite the same enthusiasm it would on any other day, but you don’t feel like calling it quits and settling for the couch and Netflix. To break out of that rut, give bouldering a go.

Bouldering, a ropeless sibling to sport climbing, offers an intensive workout that challenges both body and mind. Every bouldering gym features walls spotted with colour-coded problems of varying difficulty grades that climbers have to overcome. These rarely involve static scaling alone since the sport has evolved to include far more dynamic movements that really test your strength, balance, control, power output, and capacity to solve said problems with solutions that may not be clear-cut.

Anyone who has come near a bouldering wall can testify that the sport does push your body, particularly your upper body strength, in a way you rarely get to within the confines of a regular gym. The best part is that bouldering is for everyone — even amateurs who have never attempted climbing in any form can get into the sport.

To get started, here is a guide to bouldering gyms in Singapore.

OYEYO
