This morning was the second day in a row I went on a 2.5 mile hike with the doggo. I have a few neat parks by me and this one has a stream with two small waterfalls.
Obviously it’s only the second day, but I hope to keep it up. This hilly 2.5 mile loop burns about 800 calories according to Alltrails, and I did manage to lose quite a bit of weight the last time I hiked regularly.
I highly recommend hiking, it can be as easy or as hard as you like, and it is a great way to get some quiet time to yourself if that is something you are craving.
The waterfall looks beautiful, what a great place to unwind! I always love bringing my hammock with me on hikes. It’s a great way to take in all of the sights and sounds of the forest, especially if you ever try any longer hikes and need to take a break for a few minutes. I highly recommend finding one if you’re trying to spend more time outdoors.
We need a hiking community on Lemmy.
There is a hiking community on lemmy.ml, but it hasn’t had a post in 2 years. About time we get that back up and running!
