During outdoor activities of any kind, it's important to stay hydrated, not jut with water but with essential electrolytes. My favorite brands are LMNT and BioSteel. Both have really clean ingredients, many essential minerals and taste great!

Clothing

The last thing you want when walking/hiking is to feel uncomfortable. I live in New Brunswick, Canada where we experience 4 seasons a day, so layering clothing is totally essential!

I was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis which made extended walks/hikes very difficult. My Podiatrist recommended I purchase Aesics running shoes and I am so glad I listened, as my feet feel great now. As we age, our footwear is super important!
