Hiking is a great way to spend time in nature and get exercise.

Hiking is good for our cardiovascular health and it helps build stabilizing muscles in the legs and core that improve balance.

There is a wealth of research supporting the notion that connecting with nature improves mental health and wellbeing. The Japanese practice of forest bathing is a practice first studied in the 1980’s which involves taking a walk or hike in the woods as a way to reconnect with nature and disconnect from the modern world.
