I remember the first time I went hiking, I was around 7 years old and my whole family decided to go on a hiking trip. It was one of the most terrible experiences of my life, we woke up before daylight, we carried heavy backpacks, I became tired pretty fast, and a bee stung me. It was the last time our family went on a hiking trip together. Why am I telling you this story? Because now, I absolutely love hiking! Many people have had bad experiences from childhood hiking excursions, and if you are one of those people, maybe you should give it another try…you might actually enjoy it.
Hiking is a great way to get in some exercise, plus provide you with a great hobby. There are many different hikes you can go on, so even if you are just a beginner there are many hikes that you can chose from. Hiking will build muscle and endurance; your lungs will become stronger the more you hike. The other benefit from hiking is gaining mental toughness. It is easy to turn around and go back down the mountain, but if you keep on press up, you will not only accomplish a goal, it will also get mentally easier the more you do it.
If you want to burn more calories when you are hiking, get a pair of trekking poles. You will burn more calories because you are using your whole body to hike up the mountain. And even though you are burning more calories with trekking poles, you will actually be saving energy. That extra energy will help push you to the top.
