Safely does it
Hiking
Health for body and mind
Nature has a relaxing effect, hiking activates all the senses, gaining self-esteem and hiking strengthens the heart.
It is proven that hiking on a regular basis helps strengthen the heart. Two to three sessions of one hour per week are considered ideal. Your pulse should stay between 120 to 140 beats per minute. Your heartbeat increases in volume during exercise, and therefore helps make the heart stronger. Already Aristotle said: "Life is movement – movement is life.”
