HIKING in spring !  It’s time to hit the trail

Hiking refers to the activity of visiting and / or touring a certain place for leisure or research purposes, usually on foot, and through natural means (forests, mountains, savannas, deserts, tundras, steppes, plains, valleys, among others).

Trekking if we practice it in the mountains is an aerobic activity that benefits our circulatory system. Hiking strengthens our heart, something that can help us prevent possible cardiac pathologies and keep our blood pressure at optimal values. In the case of the muscles, the ones that work the most are those of the lower train, with special emphasis on quadriceps and glutes, especially if we include ups and downs on our route. The bones are also strengthened and increase their bone density, something especially important in the case of women in order to prevent osteoporosis.

There is nothing like returning to the basics: the freshness of the outdoors, the contemplation of nature, the personal satisfaction of overcoming challenges,  the health that comes from exercising our body. And all in the most natural way possible: walking. Therefore, it is logical that the passion for the mountain and hiking is gaining more and more followers throughout Spain. What is needed? Well, very little, besides ourselves and our disposition. A little equipment, a path and the desire to have fun.
