I went hiking today in the metro parks.  I t was an exhilarating day.
Metro Parks sounds like a great place to hike. Do you stay on the trails or do you head off the beaten path to get sight of what others haven't seen?
I usually stay on the trails. They really don't like you to wonder off the trails.
Makes sense. Let nature keep some space to itself so no one accidentally comes into contact with a bear!
Yes that and they don't want you damaging the flora by trampling all over the place. What do thing is the best way to stay fit?
I think any activity that you naturally enjoy is the best way to stay fit. That way you keep on doing it and not do it as a fad. Sounds like you really like hiking and the good thing about that is it works out the whole body. It also has some great mental benefits being outside with nature.
I agree. The beast way to stay fit is to find something you enjoy doing. Otherwise it's too much of a chore to heep up with it. You end up not going anything.  Take up hiking, or golf, anything to keep you active!
Have you ever hiked up Pikes Peak? That is a crazy looking climb. I know about it from watching the race on TV.
No. I've not done anything that extreme. I enjoy hiking local.
Makes sense. No reason to travel to go take a hike. Sort of ruins it having to take a car ride first. Do you hike alone or with friends?
