Strap on
those comfy hiking boots, take a deep breath of fresh air, and begin your
journey into the woods! Not only will you get a great physical workout,
but you’ll also experience the pure beauty of mother nature as well as all the
other mental health benefits associated with being active outdoors.
Hiking,
just like any other physical activity, can help increase your overall fitness
levels such as cardio, muscle strength, and weight control. You’ll gain
strength in muscles that help to increase your balance, stability, and
agility. Just make sure to ease into the longer more challenging hikes as
you’ll be more prone to injury as a newbie hiker. Along with becoming physically
fit, your mental fitness and awareness increase as well. You’ll enjoy
benefits of increasing your sleep quality and relieving tension and anxiety.
Studies have shown that experiences in nature help to increase positives moods
and decrease negative moods. Disconnecting from the technology that
consumes our daily lives and beginning to connect with nature can provide
individuals with a sense of inner peace and general well-being.
Hiking is
also a great social activity. Planning regular hiking meetups or
long-distance treks is a great way to bond with old friends and new friends
alike. Once you’ve reached the end of the trail or the peak of your hike, it’s
always nice to sit down and relax for a bit, rehydrate, and eat a healthy
snack.
So, grab your backpack and bring along your
favorite Gray Wool Blankets, Yellow Wool Blanket & Black And White Wool Blanket from our 100% merino wool blankets Explorer Collection and set foot
into the wild. Your mind and body will be happy you did!
