Take advantage of the first fresh scents of fall with a jaunt to the hills for a hiking trek. The physical benefits are many – from losing weight; to preventing heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis; to decreasing blood pressure; to relieving arthritis and back pain. But climbing up hills offers more than blessings for your body. Hiking also lets you escape the confines of a gym, improves your balance, and gives you a chance to connect with your inner self. All that, and it doesn’t cost much, either. Not sure how to get started? (Or how to train if you, um, haven’t hit the hills in ages?) Read more from our expert here.
One of the best ways to connect with your sisters or best friends (or moms) is to take a getaway that takes you out of your natural environment; something that challenges your body while relaxing your spirit. We’re excited to announce our sponsorship of Sorrel Resort & Spa’s Women’s Hiking Week!
The hiking week takes place October 17-21st at their beautiful Moab spa and includes yoga, spa treatments, and oodles of bonding time with your best and closest girl friends. What could be better then fresh air, exercise, pampered muscles and girl time?! (Now, if I wasn’t expected a baby myself, I know I’d be there, too.)
