Photos of the Sunday Hike and Walk Klipriviersberg Johannesburg – 7 November 2021: a few weeks away from summer, good rainfall over the past few weeks, what does this translate into? a lush green Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve. We had a cloudless blue sky, a bit breezy at times and the weather warmed up pretty quickly. It was a hot 30C (86F) by the time we completed the hike.

Hiking is Good for Body and Mind

Hiking outdoors has plenty of perks: nice views, fresh air, and the sounds and smells of nature.

It’s good for you, too. Hiking is a powerful cardio workout that can:

Lower your risk of heart disease
Improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels
Boost bone density, since walking is a weight-bearing exercise
Build strength in your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles in your hips and lower legs
Strengthen your core
Improve balance
Help control your weight
Boost your mood. “Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety,” says Dr. Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking Society. “Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that.”
