Hiking; an ultimate amateur guide


Besides than going to the gym, I love to go hiking with my friends. I find hiking to be more interesting rather than running on a treadmill in the gym where you can just run or jog in one place and the view is not very pleasing at all. By hiking, I could appreciate Mother Nature more and be closer to her while exercising. Hiking can be very interesting and challenging at the same time as we could not predict what could be happening around us while hiking. To avoid facing these unpleasant scenarios, we should prepare ourselves not only physically but also mentally. 

I suggest before hiking, you should prepare yourself physically by going jogging or maybe some light exercises to avoid any unnecessary pain or muscle sore while hiking. May I remind you that hiking is more than walking and running through the course but it could also involves climbing, jumping and requires a good balancing when encountering steep slopes or slippery path while hiking. Thus, you should also be mentally prepare to hike the course. For me, every day is a brand new challenge for hiking as we never know what we could encounter. 

Besides that, don't forget to wear proper attire for hiking. A proper shoe, pants and shirts are also important to avoid any unnecessary incidents. Other than that, it is optional to bring a small towel to wipe away the sweats flowing down and water bottle in case you're thirsty while hiking. Besides that, you could also bring MP3 players like iPod and other music player in case you get bored of hiking and need to listen to some music while hiking your way into the path. 

It is not advisable to go hiking alone as a safety precaution. Always go hiking in a group or at least a pair so we could prevent anything bad from happening. I think that's all for this guide. I hope it will be benefits to who ever read this entry. Take care! 

Hiking is a way to appreciate nature and at the same time, increase your physical and mental health. Its a fun activity to do with friends and family and it could also strengthen your relationship with them. 

what's creative about hiking? well its one of the way for us to connect with nature. because hiking isn't just an excersize . it helps us think, all the greens around us with fresh air as we walk up and down the path. its excersizing with out putting much afford. 

in my opinion hiking is a must do event for everyone . its good for us and it will help us alot without us even knowing it. just try it! you will see wonders after a few months . :)
