Benefits of hiking

I have always been a big fan of hiking and over the years when I find that I do not have time to take time out to enjoy nature, clear my mind and go on a hike whether it be 30 minutes to an hour I start to feel the stress rising. Hiking is merely walking on a foot path, whether on a neighborhood trail that runs along the river or a more adventurous trail to a mountain ridge or just around your neighborhood.

Hiking can be a great way to escape the monotony of the gym and get a heart-pumping workout.

There are many benefits of hiking. The most common benefits are:

Weight loss.
Decrease in blood pressure.
Helps prevent osteoporosis by improving bone density.
Relieves back pain.

So instead of sitting in front of the tv go for a hike.. You'll notice the difference!

Christina, great advice. And you are 100% accurate. Hiking is better than sitting in front of a tv all the time.

Christina, Great advice. We have so many trails here in Las Vegas and now that the weather is cool, it is a great way to get exercise, relax and take the dog on an adventurous trip!

I need to go on a good hike. I haven't been in about a month. I am due a day without the phone.
