5 Reasons to Take a Hike

A hike can be anything from a 20 minute walk at a trail nearby to a full day hike at a state park. Either way, you get outside and are moving.
Other than burning calories, here are five more great benefits:

Stay Limber and Strong

Fully extending and flexing the muscles will help keep your joints limber and your leg and core muscles strong.

Minimal Equipment Needed

Depending on the difficulty of the hike, you won't need much more than walking shoes and water.

Getting the Family Together

Getting out in nature, without distractions, might be just what the family needs to bond.

Set Your Pace

You can make a hike as challenging as you'd like. Charge up a hill or take your time.

Zen-like

Find peace and quiet in the outdoors. Relax in the breeze, the beautiful views, and waterfalls.
