Hey guys. I try to the gym about twice a week. I say "about" because I travel somewhat frequently, but whenever I am home, I attend the gym on regular basis, even though I fucking hate it. My goal is to do basic power exercises because otherwise I was fucking weak and the perspective of coming down with various diseases related to not going to the gym is more terrifying than the effort of having to go to the gym. At the gym I mostly do upper-body exercise.>you need to focus more on legsShut the fuck up, I don't really do legs at the gym because I cycle a lot.Anyway, about once, twice a month a friend of mine invites me to go bouldering with him. I have to say, I spend about an hour there, afterwards I'm exhausted, but it's genuinely fun. My question is:Assuming that general health is my goal, is bouldering a valid replacement for gym? As in, if I go bouldering on given day when I was planning to go to the gym, can I say "fuck gym, I already did exercise" without lying to myself?
bouldering can make you very fit and agile. you're never going to get big though if thats your goal
