National Hiking Day

Hiking can range from a short stroll around the woods to a rapid walk towards the peak of a mountain. You don’t need much equipment nor preparation; It can be one of the top experiences you can give your body while admiring beautiful nature. Hiking represents a full body workout, and it is proven to give many mental and emotional advantages in the body.

Some of the physical benefits hiking provides are, building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, improving lower body strength and decreasing the risk of respiratory diseases. 

Talking about mental benefits, spending time in nature can boost your mood and improve the way thoughts appear. 

Any workout is better with fresh air. Nature is proven to reduce stress, calm anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression, according to a study done by researchers at Stanford university. 

Hiking sustainably is all about embracing your surroundings, respecting the environment and being sure to leave no trace, this means not leaving trash during your walk, destroying the habitat or making any damage to nature itself. Picking the right hiking trail, using vegan or eco-friendly items in workout clothes, sunscreen or water bottles and walking as much as possible to reduce the emissions of transport.
