Hiking With Friends
- Hiking burns considerably more calories than walking, and if you previously stuck to walks around the neighborhood for exercise, you are likely to see a pronounced increase in weight loss.
- A 185-pound person who hikes or two hours can burn 1,064 calories according to Harvard Health, provided the terrain is hilly.
