There are many advantages for man to walk to only two legs. One of the advantage is hiking that is a good past time. Such strenuous recreation has become more and more important as our changing lifestyle does not allow us much physical exertion. Everything is just a click away.
The concept of hiking has really picked up in the recent times. The humans escape from the stressful city life and reconnect with nature while losing the extra fat that accumulates in the body due to the sedentary lifestyle. One can always meditate while in close contact with nature and lose stress that takes a toll on the mental health.
We see the work ‘hiking’ being inducted into the English dictionary in the eighteen hundreds. It became popular in the subsequent century when other forms of travel had begun to take precedence over man’s choice of walking on foot. So much so that walking became a recreational activity which was now being defined as ‘a long walk especially for pleasure or exercise’ in the dictionary.
Activities like this e.g. hiking have more recently become part of the boot camps that are set up for people to lose weight naturally through exercise. Hiking trips are also a good way to bring family and friends closer. Not only do you discover great things on your trip you also have great memories to take back home.
While on hiking one might come across a lot of freshwater in the form of streams, lakes, ponds and rivers on the mountains. Far from the fact that they might be the Fountain of Youth, they might make you sick from the water pollution due to human activities and some dangerous microorganism that may be found in them. Only where you see a faucet which says portable water then you can have a drink from there.
For the fitness freaks who have not tried out hiking yet, they should know that a person consumes 500 calories in an hour on a hike of average difficulty level. By average difficulty we mean neither too hot nor too cold with a backpack which is not too heavy nor too light. This figure has been brought out by the American Dietary Association.
