We know that it is the autumnal equinox and soon it will be the time of the year of the Chrysanthemum Festival. It has been a Chinese custom for a long time to climb a mountain and look far away. These aside, we also need to know that the weather is getting cooler in the fall, and the autumn is also suitable for hiking activities. You know, many people are always very easy to hurt their knees when climbing because of various reasons. How do we pay attention to protect our knees in climbing?

Participate in more exercise during the day

It is important to take part in more exercise, especially for the muscles around the knee. This will allow the muscle groups of the knee joint to have more strength to protect the knee when climbing.

Warm-up exercises

Before climbing, you can do some warm-up exercises to move your body joints, and tell you a tip, that is, before climbing with both hands fingers rubbing the edge of the knee, which can also promote the protection of the knee.

Do not lift your feet too high

When climbing, be careful not to lift your feet too high, you can walk with the soles of your feet flat against the ground. This will reduce the weight of the body on the knees, relying more on the body leaning forward and the power of the buttocks to move forward. Don't rush up the hill, climb slowly is the way. When descending, pay attention to the bending of the knees, do not always straighten the legs. If you feel tired in the middle, stop for a short rest on the road.

Prepare hiking poles

Choose a good pair of climbing shoes for yourself. It is important to know that a pair of suitable and well-fitting shoes is very important for you to climb. And of course, you should not carry too much heavy stuff on your body. These will inadvertently put pressure on your knees. If you are physically weak or usually do not have much exercise, you may want to prepare yourself for the climbing poles so that you can help you climb to the top more easily Oh.
