TAKE A HIKE A long time ago, I used to be one of those guys who didn’t miss a workout at gym, or didn’t skip that presumably healthy diet based mainly upon having foods with a high protein content, and even spent money on supplements in order to build up a body as if a Michelangelo sculpture’s was about, under the motto ‘No pain no gain’, however, that’s not the matter now. As time goes by, one realizes all that glitters is not gold, and sometimes one needs to find their inner peace and doesn’t be a slave to fashion or all that trendy stuff out there, and that was the reason why I chose ‘hiking’ as an alternative to cut myself off from following trends like sheep, because of the following reasons: On the one hand, you can practice it individually, without wasting money, with a friend, or in a group, doing exercise in a friendly natural environment, which can help you lose weight or keep fit, increase your strength, and best of all boosting your brain, and improving your outlook. On the other hand, the equipment you need is just comfortable clothes, trainers or any suitable shoes, and some water or food to get your strength back. All in all, something that allows me to recharge my batteries and embrace my own idiosyncrasies.
