Walking is one of the best aerobic exercises, something you know well. But if you want to benefit to the maximum from its beneficial properties, then wear comfortable clothes and shoes and hit the mountains!
As the American Hiking Society emphasizes, hiking in nature improves the cardiorespiratory system and contributes to training the whole body, especially the legs, like most aerobic sports.
In addition, however, exercising in nature improves psychology and increases performance according to the results of research by the University of Essex in England. This is because the absence of a mirror and body standards helps you come to terms with and love your body and its true image, while increasing your self-confidence.
Finally, the green color of nature has relaxing and calming properties for the brain, contributing to the release of more endorphins, hormones that help reduce stress, appetite and activate the metabolism.
One hour of walking is equivalent to burning 350 calories.
