This episode takes you through the winding paths of health and heartiness that hiking offers, from the cardiovascular benefits that keep heart disease at bay to the mental clarity that comes from disconnecting from the digital noise. We'll share how to start your hiking adventure, the boots that have become our trusty companions, and the zone two training that has become our go to weekend exercise for a sustainable fitness regimen. 

Join us as we discuss the practicalities of starting your own hiking journey, where even a newcomer can find solace and strength in the embrace of the wild. We don't just talk about the physical steps taken, but also the mental leaps achieved as you take on ever increasingly difficult and rewarding trails. Find out why we swear by the AllTrails app, and how even the simple act of staying hydrated transforms your outdoor experience. It's not just about the distance you cover, but also the peace you uncover along each step of your hiking endeavors.
