What is the one pleasant thing that happens on a daily basis in our busy lives? Do you know that walking can be one of the most pleasant experiences that you can share with your friends? Many people are walking in order to improve their fitness levels or to lose weight But most of them are doing it because they love it.
If you are one of those people who are devoted with walking then it is huge mistake that you are doing it wrong. Walking is a form of exercise. It is a form of continuous activity, during which you are always on the move. Unlike other forms of exercise such as swimming, cycling or gardening where there is always preparation time involved, when you walk you can’t skip ahead.
Why should you not walk? Surely, there are many reasons. Why should you avoid walking? These are some valid reasons that can be used against it.
It Can Give You Bad Blood?
Exercise can always leave your body out of shape. This can be either positive or negative. If your blood is always ill equipped than getting a bad blood is no laughing matter. Walking can help you lose weight but if you already have a bad blood then this can be a very degrading exercise.
It Can Give You Bad Breath.
Exercise creates bad breath and keeping it down is very important to keep your body working efficiently. There are many reasons why people don’t wear breathable fabrics and instead of waiting until you get to the trainyard to change into new clothes, you wear old clothes that have been sitting in your wardrobe since you’ve been to the gym countless times. This can be a bad thing.
It Can Give You Excessive Energy.
People are naturally athletic and after a good walk you feel a little more energetic. People often tell me that a good walk is a walk that is well taken. By this they mean that you should take all the factors that you normally do during exercise and multiply them by 10. This still does not show the full extent of walking. People are still able to jog while walking, jump high and still run down the street.
The Grand Canyon?
Most people would not consider going on a tour through the Grand Canyon as a walking experience. Touring is considered top experience in walking. But people who know the Grand Canyon correctly, know that not only is it a tour but also a journey. A journey of such a huge magnitude requires a couple of days, not to mention a couple of hours to even make it through the South Rim in a car.
The bottom line is that to enjoy yourself on a hiking tour you must be ready to walk. If you entrance the tour with apprehension, remember that a guide may be tough to come along and if need be a large helping hand. Walking is not an attack to your body but a continuation of exercise. In addition to that, the form of exercise is different from the gym, the streets and the weights in the gym. You get to travel on a different terrain. All these factors have a great bearing on how your body handles the exercise.
It Is All About the Weight
Walking is a lot easier than running, biking, climbing the stairs are all exercise but the added weight of the backpack or the clothes you are wearing is a stress on your body. For a canyoneer you may consider buying or getting a lighter shirt, or even two. Walking sticks are good to aid balance and they can be a life saver. There are a lot of options to choose from.
What Type of Backpack?
The sleepy backpack and the large backpack are the most common options when it comes to canyoneering. The sleepy backpack is best for short canyons and shallow waters, they are easier to carry and less tiring. But the large backpack is useful for deep canyons, flat canyons, traversing sand and undergoing Trickety Crawl.
What Kind of Shoes?
Your footwear is going to be sneakers (atrias), hiking boots (dorbets), urban shoes, t-shirts, flailing sandals and giraffes. Please put on socks designed specifically for canyoneering. There is a wide variety of straps, types and sleeve lengths that you can choose from.
Will You Be Walking on Your Hands or Feet?
One of the most important factors for preparation is knowing your topography. topography is the knowledge of the location you are going to as well as how to negotiate in the environment you are likely to encounter. knowing your canyoneering equipment is one of the top priorities. badly fitting canyoneering equipment can be used to cause more muscle strain and pain, or even put paid to your canyoneeringpedition.
An example of ‘don’t tell’ is finding and purchasing shoes and equipment specifically designed for canyoneering.
