Hiking

How to do it

1. Wear sturdy shoes with good grip and dress in layers you can take off once you warm up.
2. Walk tall and look a few steps ahead to choose where to place your feet.
3. Shorten your stride on climbs and keep a steady pace you can hold without stopping.
4. On descents, bend your knees slightly and take short, controlled steps.

Start easy and build up gradually. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or pressure in your chest.
