Fresh air, green leaves and singing birds can put anyone in the mood for a good hike. In addition to the aerobic exercise hiking provides, it's a great way to spend some quality time with family and friends. Given a tot's natural curiosity about their surroundings, kids make excellent hiking partners, if parents go into the activity realizing that they might not reach their end point, mileage or exercise goals during the outing.

Guess which blond bombshell said this about hiking?
I really like to hike. I love the idea that it invites so much conversation with the people that you're with [and] you end up having great talks.

Early Spring is one of my favorite times of year for hiking since the snow is all melted, you can see buds on the trees, and can catch glimpses and sounds of birds and other wildlife. Plus it's not unbearably hot, so you don't have to worry about sweating the whole time. Before you head out on the trail, check out these hiking essentials.

I'm so psyched for Spring because the fresh air and singing birds motivate me to get out and go hiking. It's one of the best forms of exercise because it's free, burns tons of calories, and is an excellent cardiovascular workout. To get you ready for the steep hills, here's a 45-minute treadmill workout to try.

Dear Fit,
This past weekend I hiked Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, AZ. It was fun, but it totally exhausted me. Basically, my entire body is very sore.

We're always rooting for Lauren Conrad around here, and that's something we have in common with her level-headed best friend Whitney Port. Lauren will have to say goodbye to the easy-going blonde when Whitney leaves her pals on The Hills and moves to New York, where she'll star in the East Coast version of the show, The City. OK!

Fall is my favorite time of year to hike not only because the air is cooler so you don't have to worry about overheating or sweaty feet causing blisters, but also because of the gorgeous Fall foliage.

The weather is starting to cool off, and now's the perfect time to go hiking. Not only will you avoid overheating when trekking it up the mountain, but you may even get to see hints of the leaves changing colors. Don't let bad knees, keep you off the trail.

You're asking and I'm answering.
Dear Fit,
Last weekend after a night of camping, I was washing my hair and realized there was something stuck to my scalp. My husband took a look and found a small black tick embedded in my skin.

If working out in a gym bores you to tears, you need to move your workout outside and hit a trail. Hiking is a great challenge for your heart and lower body, and you can do it with friends. If you've never been hiking in the Summer, here are some things to keep in mind.
