Hi guys! So, I’ve got some exciting news to share with you all.
I went hiking for the first time ever this past weekend! It was everything that I imagined it would be and so much more. It was so refreshing being a part of nature, away from technology and the noise that brings the city to life, and I really enjoyed not feeling tempted to check my phone at least once every hour. In fact, I enjoyed not having this pressure on me so much that I didn’t even bother to take that many pictures!
(Sorry! But really not sorry 😉).
Although I do wish that I did because it was such a beautiful sight.
But all that silliness aside it was really such a fun and amazing experience. I’ve always wanted to go on a hike but I never wanted to do it alone. So, this past weekend my older brother, his girlfriend, and I decided that we would go on a hike and that’s what we ended up doing.
As a first-time hiker I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I was expecting it to be challenging but not as challenging as it was. And let me just tell you that it was extremely challenging!
There were so many inclines, rocks, and tree stumps in the road that made getting up the incline hard. But once you got past that it got somewhat easier to walk, but as would be my luck it was only short lived before it was back to another incline. I got close to seeing a waterfall in person, I saw two families of deer, a ton of chipmunks, and was among bears in the wilderness even though we did not directly encounter them (thank God!).
This was such a fun and amazing experience that challenged me to get out of my comfort zone, and I ended the day discovering new ways to improve on my health and fitness. That’s what today’s post is about. I’m going to share with you 3 ways that you can improve your health and fitness by hiking. [Read more…]
