The American Heart Association recommends fitting in at least 150 minutes of heart-pumping physical activity each week. Being physically active is important to prevent heart disease and stroke, which are the nation’s top causes of death. Exercise is also helpful to prevent comorbidities like diabetes.
Taking a hike (or a walk) is good medicine for improving quality of life, preventing commodities, and relieving stress and anxiety. Those who make time to incorporate this activity into their life are glad to share why they enjoy it.
Hike for Health will have leaders at the front and in the back of group walking to provide support for others who are slowly building their physical endurance and gaining socialization with others.
When hiking, it’s important to be prepared. Look to the weather forecast and dress accordingly with comfortable clothing and shoes, take water and a light snack, and wear sunscreen. One may also want to wear insect repellent.
