Benefits Of Hill Walking
From www.Prevention.com

Hillwalking is a great way to exercise your whole body, says the September 2004 issue of American Fitness. Compared to walking on flat ground, what the British call the "pastime of walking in hilly country" builds more muscle and burns more fat because of the incline. Light hiking boots are recommended over crosstrainers or regular walking shoes, and adding a pair of poles increases your upper body workout while taking some stress off your knees.
