Hiking is a great way to stay fit and active. Ascents will get your cardio going and descents are a good low-impact muscle building workout engaging quads, hamstrings and calfs. By using poles you'll also work arms, shoulders and back. And being outdoors also means you'll reduce your stress levels and general sense of well-being.
