Heads Up on Your Body

Hiking is Great Exercise

Hiking is one of the best ways to incorporate exercise into your life!

Hiking is enjoyable, beautiful, cardiovascular, not boring, free, a varied terrain, and a great way to bond with someone you know, or with your dog.

In a lot of ways, hiking is the perfect form of exercise!

These are photos of me and my dog at a local waterfall where there are trails and waterfalls to swim under, its so great. If you’re looking for a way to add exercise into your life, try looking up a park like this near where you live.

If you look for a park near your home, it’ll be easy to go there frequently. Its nice when you find a park with a few different types of trails, some easy and flat, and other steep with overlooks. That way, you can go hiking all the time as your cardio exercise, and choose which trail you feel like doing each time you go, depending on your energy and amount of time you have.

In a lot of ways, hiking is similar to pilates- even the same trail is really never exactly the same every time you hike it, just like a pilates class is really never the same class twice. Hiking unites your mind and body, and breath, just like pilates. They both give your spirit a huge boost, they can both be enjoyed with friends, and they both require practice to get better and better. In my opinion, hiking and pilates amazing forms of exercise!
