"Sticks for hiking can reduce weights 25 to 30 percent off to cushion the impact of feet and protect knees. And those sticks can help arms to be exercised. When you stretch your arms and make a right angle with the sticks, it's the proper length of the sticks. When you step forward with your right foot, then your left stick goes forward, and vice versa."
It's part of 'How to use sticks for hiking' which the professional climer explained at the free hiking class by Bucheon Alpine Federation. The Bucheon Alpine Federation held the free mountain-climbing class on May 25, 2013, at the plaze in Bucheon Stadium. About five hundreds of people attended the class, and the main instructor was the famous, professional climber, Heongju Um.
Mr. Um also explined how to breathe and how to walk during hiking.
"You should inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. If you need more air, you can inhale through your mouth. You should inhale and exhale at regular intervals according to your paces of feet. If you pant, you can slow down your paces or rest to get back your regular breath."
The good way of walking during hiking Mr. Um taught was that "When climbing, you should stretch out your backward leg and support yourself through bones of the leg. And move forward at regular speed."
Mayor of Bucheon City, Mansoo Kim said "It's hiking and mountain climbing for all the citizens to live long up to 99 years old lively. It's the cheapest way to make life longer."
The managing director from Bucheon Alpine Federation, Seokmok Jong, who is also the head of Wonmi-gu Community Health Center, hosted the event. Participants of the event had hiking one and half hour long through Octagonal Pavilion in Mt. Womni and Garden of Azalea, after mayor's speech and the chairman's greetings from Bucheon Alpine Federation.
The chairman of Bucheon Alpine Federation, Wanjae Lee said "The Bucheon Alpine Federation has hosted the open mountain climbing classes for citizens every year since the federation was founded in 2006. It will be helpful for citizens who hike or climb mountains to know well how to climb mountains.
