The sound of the wind, the warm sunshine on your face, and the soft earthy feel of the trail under your shoes are just a few perks you can get when you hike. Not only are these enjoyable to experience, but they are great for you, too.
Hiking is proven to be beneficial to your health and a great cardio workout for you:
- Improves blood pressure and blood sugar levels
- Boosts bone density
- Reduce your risk of heart disease
- Strengthen your core
- Build strength in your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and the muscles in your hips and lower legs
- Improve your sense of balance
- Help control your weight
- Boosts your mood and promotes mental health
Just remember, it’s best to go with a partner or a group, especially if it’s your first time to hike on unfamiliar or remote trails. As your hiking skill level improves, you will feel more comfortable going on a solo hike.
