Studies show that natural environments like beaches, waves and birds offer more health benefits than gyms, entertainment venues, and busy city environments. If you were wondering how you could combine all these elements into a fun activity for the whole family, wonder no more: surfing combines swimming, a strong core-muscle workout, fresh air and a real sense of well-being and accomplishment.

Take a hike… and get fit!
Not everyone enjoys working out at the gym, but the good news is you can keep fit, healthy and in shape just by taking advantage of the great outdoors.
As South Africans, we’re blessed with some of the best scenery in the world – which offers you a near endless variety of walking and hiking trails – which double up as great cardio workouts. Walking and hiking helps tone your legs, bum and thighs and keeps your waistline trim. As we said, it’s a great workout.
It’s also fun to do with friends and family, and all you really need is a decent pair of walking shoes or boots to get you started.
With that in mind, here are the top hiking trails in South Africa. Which are your favourite spots? Share them with us on the Hello Doctor Facebook page.
