What is Hiking?

Hiking is merely walking on a foot path, whether on a neighborhood trail that runs along the river or a more adventurous trail to a mountain ridge.

Hiking can be a great way to escape the monotony of the gym and get a heart-pumping workout.

Benefits of Hiking

There are many benefits of hiking. The most common benefits are:

Weight loss.
Decrease in blood pressure.
Helps prevent osteoporosis by improving bone density.
Relieves back pain.
It doesn't cost much.

Health Benefits of Walking

The health benefits of regular physical activity are far-reaching: reduced risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases; lower health care costs; and improved quality of life for people of all ages. Regular exercise provides a myriad of health benefits for senior adults including a stronger heart, a positive mental outlook and an increased chance of remaining indefinitely independent – a benefit that will become increasingly important as our population ages in the coming years.




Physical activity need not be unduly strenuous for an individual to reap significant health benefits. Even small increases in light to moderate activity, equivalent to walking for about 30 minutes a day, will produce measurable benefits among those who are least active.




Health Facts:

60% of Americans lead completely sedentary lifestyles, and 40% are clinically overweight (1998 report of the American Medical Association)

Research conducted in 1999 by the Centers for Disease Control found that "obesity and overweight are linked to the nation's number one killer--heart disease--as well as diabetes and other chronic conditions." The report also states that one reason for Americans' sedentary lifestyle is that "walking and cycling have been replaced by automobile travel for all but the shortest distances." (October 27, 1999 issue of the JAMA)

Get Fit for Free in a Gorgeous, Natural Setting.

February is already here...how are those new year's resolutions to get/stay fit going? Hiking is an incredibly rewarding way to keep up your "get fit" goals.

I'm organizing a hiking club for anyone who wants to join. No prequisites required! All you need is a good pair of walking/hiking shoes, 1-2 hours a week (to start) and the will to commit! There are no age or fitness requirements here. There is something for everyone!! It's doesn't matter what your situation is, STAYING FIT AND ACTIVE IS KEY TO EVERYONE'S HEALTH!!


There are 3 levels of ease/difficulty....read on.


Level 1--- Basically this is a nature walk. Easy; likened to taking a leisurely stroll thru the park. Designed for those who are just beginning to get back into shape, those who want to take it slow but still keep the heart pumping and the circulation flowing. (see below for more benefits).








Level 2--- This is the level for you if you are already somewhat active and want to push yourself a bit more. This level includes mostly uphill walking (a natural stairclimber). You will be rewarded with a tight booty and amazing panoramic views of LA. (the views come immediately the tight booty (unless you are already blessed) will follow.







Level 3--- At this level, we will be doing some uphil walking and some moderate rock climbing. Speed is what we focus on here to maximize the workout and see the benefits a lot faster. Your rewards are an exhilirating feeling and equally exhilirating views...not to mention a rocking bod.

If you are interested, email me with the level you are interested in as well as the best day of the week and possible time you will be available. Weekends hikes will most likely take place in the a.m. while weekday hikes will happen in the evening. No exact times have been set yet so I can get more feedback.

Don't forget to forward this info to anyone you think might be interested. It's open to everyone. Most hikes will take place in Griffith Park and surrounding trails but we will sometimes venture out to Altadena's Eaton Canyon, Runyon Canyon (where the stars walk)in Hollywood and the many trails in Angeles Forest....and many more.

If you get nothing else out of this, you will benefit from fresh air, chatting up and spending time with friends and meeting new people. Make the commitment, there's benefits in just sticking to your goals!!!

Hope to hear from you and see you soon on the trails!!
