Fun Exercise, Aerobics and Hiking

We all know that it is important to be as healthy as we can be. If you truly want to be healthy you should add aerobics into your work out, if you don’t do it already. Even though some people like to target different parts of their bodies when it comes to aerobics, is also very important that you have a routine that works on each of your body parts as a whole.

When you are working on your entire body, there are several things that you have to keep in mind. First, you should be sure that you are working each of your muscle groups and that you are working all of them for an extended period of time. This is something that people fail to do and can result in uneven and unhealthy training.



I happen to love being outdoors so hiking is my choice for an aerobic exercise. Today my son and I went with a very nice group from MWR to a place called Cougar Canyon. We went a total of 5 miles up and down the mountain. We could have gone more but his foot started to bother him. He is still healing from being wounded in Afghanistan. I really got a good aerobic workout while having fun chatting with people and taking some good photographs.

The best aerobics that you can do are going to be aerobics where you work each of your muscles in turn. Remember that you have to have a session where your heart is pumping, so a good thing to do is to be constantly moving while you are doing your aerobics. Then, you can move each of your muscles as well. The best whole body workout would be to start at a brisk walk. Get your heart rate up and going. Remember to include all of your muscles, and you’ll be losing weight and feeling healthier in no time flat. Hiking definitely does all those things!
