A humorous “Top 10″ look at Hiking for Fitness
I got a chuckle this morning out of reading Tom Mangan’s latest post over at Two Heel Drive. Naturally I felt compelled to make slight alterations, wine-wise, as well as to reverse the order of Tom’s Top Ten List a la David Letterman.
Top Ten Reasons Why Hiking Is Better Than A Gym Membership
10. In the outdoors, nobody can smell your sweat.
9. Contorting to find tick bites is just like stretching.
8. There’s no self-loathing for forgetting to recharge your iPod.
7. Nature builds a better Stairmaster.
6. Few fumbling, inappropriate attempts at seduction.
5. Few opportunities to fare poorly in a body-parts comparison.
4. No need to towel off the equipment.
3. No fear of falling off the treadmill.
2. Walking the same way six times because you’re lost counts as reps.
1. The farther you walk, the more wine tasting you can justify.
Fortunately nobody sweats on a California Wine Hikes tour. Instead, they glow!
