    Do push-ups, squats, and sit-ups daily. You need to make sure you are fit before you begin! Then, practice by climbing trees and bars. It would help you to learn how to catch the wall when you get to that point! When you are doing it for the first time, it is best to climb a stone wall or brick. You can find those around parking lots, behind buildings (Walmart, Target, etc.). You can can also practice on climbing walls in the gym, and trampoline parks are good for practicing jumping.
