I hike “Hell Mountain” every other day. It’s a place nearby my home in the mountains of Northern California and I absolutely love the feeling of making it up. I plan to hike Mt. Shasta next year and who knows, I may graduate to bigger mountains in the future.. but going uphill works everything and there is nothing like being out in nature.

Keeping it slow doesn't work for me on a steeper uphill. When you are walking faster you can use momentum to your advantage, while walking slowly makes it easy to lose balance and fall back.

hiking once a week is also a great way to lose weight.

I just went hiking now due to very hot day. Nearly died lmao. Got 90% up and then started vomiting and over heated

That ain’t steep hiking. Steep hiking is trying to decide which way of stepping up is best-because it’s that steep. Some grades are so aggressive that putting the whole foot down causes problems.

So, Now we have to watch how to walk in this generation

I am a very avid hiker and have always heard that putting your heel down first (heel strike) is not ideal and leads to more injury.

I match my pace to my breathing. Anything else doesn't make sense. What? I need to breath MORE? If i'm getting out of breath I slow down.

LOL these backpacks are so small, i can run up Mt.Everest with a pack like that. Try a 25kg 100liter pack and try walking uphill annd speak at the same time haha
