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.
That looks so wonderful! I do wish I could spend more time exploring nature (work has me very busy these days).
My wife and I recently moved to a small town with a privately owned, 2000 acre forest preserve; we took a picnic lunch just a short way in a while back, and I desperately want to explore more of it.
That’s awesome. In my case I have to wake up at 5-5:30 if I want to get a 1 hr hike in.
Don’t forget to tick check yourself! And obviously make sure your dogs have their meds.
That’s a beautiful wood, though. Particularly adore your waterfall.
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!
