Now I’ve never been a big camper or hiker or any of that.  I go out for one, maybe 2 nights, and I’m done.  I like my hot shower, I like my warm bed, my idea of camping is a good trailer or something.  I can rough it, and I’m much more capable than most girls of getting a tiny overnight bag and really doing my own job.  But this being said, I have a roommate and friend who loves to go camping. 

Well, more specifically she has decided that she really doesn’t want to go to the gym.  So lately speaking, because the weather is still warm enough and there really aren’t any ice glaciers yet, she has been hiking a nearby mountain.  I don’t do so well with outside air, specifically all the allergens.  So I really deal with the inside and safe air of a gym more than I do with the outside.  I don’t expose myself to more problems than I absolutely have to. 

But if you’re not wimpy like me, one of the best exercises I would suggest is hiking.  It gets you out into nature, often uphill which is more for your money and time really, and the downhill is greater too.  And if more adventurous than me, well it’s actually better than the gym.
