Hiking - Therapy for the body and mind

Body

Why spend hundreds of dollars at the gym when mother nature gives you a cheaper alternative?

Studies show that hiking:

• Lowers your risk of heart disease;
• Improves your blood pressure and blood sugar levels;
• Boosts bone density, since walking is a weight-bearing exercise;
• Builds strength in your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles in your hips and lower legs
• Strengthens your core;
• Improves balance; and
• Helps control your weight.

Mind

Ease your stress and anxiety levels. How?

• Use the opportunity to bond with your loved ones
• When you look better, you feel better
• Get away from your regular stressful environments
• Breathe cleaner, fresher air (free from toxins and carcinogens)
• Nature's sounds soothe and relax the mind

Let mother nature help you, help yourself.
