As people get older, their bodies become weaker. To prevent this weakness people can engage in exercise. By hiking, your heart rate will be increased and therefore provide more oxygen for your body. Endurance hiking can help with strengthening your diaphragm and make your lungs stronger. To keep your feet comfortable during a hike buy the right kind of boots and visit a podiatrist. To increase the amount of oxygen your lungs can use do short intense workouts. For your bones, consume dairy and leafy greens. To prevent cartilage and join damage, strengthen the muscles surrounding those areas. To keep your muscles healthy do not sit still. To burn body fat a healthy diet and exercise is required.
