To help educate and inform the public on important health issues, the Columbus branch of the American Heart Association is collaborating with local bloggers to share their stories about heart heath and their own nutrition and fitness tips. March was nutrition and fitness month and I will be sharing my favorite tips for exercising with your family.
My favorite way to exercise is hiking! Hiking is a great way to spend time outdoors and get some wonderful exercise. Hiking can easily be tailored to fit any age or fitness level. It is accessible to young children, older adults, those who are very physically fit and those who are just starting an exercise program. I love hiking because it doesn't take any special equipment and it is much easier on my shins and ankles than running (read about my thoughts on running and about my Mom and sister's experience running the Columbus Marathon). The only supplies you need to go hiking are a pair of good hiking shoes or boots and a water bottle. Be sure to always dress appropriately for the weather!
