Treadmill Climb is a great alternative for students who don’t trust their grip quite yet. It gets its name because it is literally like climbing up a treadmill…no height is gained but a lot of strength and understanding is built in the process. This climb gives students a chance to practice the actions of a Basic Climb: Roll Up Variation, but without actually going anywhere.
We introduce this climb in our beginner level classes as an option for students who are having trouble climbing or who are having trouble hanging from straight arms to climb with that style. It can be very empowering for new students, and for more experienced beginners it can be added to a warm-up to get the spine moving.
