If you are like me, the idea of exercise probably bores you.  One way to get around the problem is to go backpacking. This sport allows you to exercise most of the body and is interesting enough to hold your attention.  Unlike gym memberships, there is no cost to go climbing or walking.  However, if you don’t already have at least some basic equipment, it is necessary to invest in a good backpack, shoes, other necessities.  An Internet search can explain what is needed and the best way to get it.  Once you have your gear, it is easy to begin walking and climbing for your health and enjoyment.
