In this digital age, we are all so addicted to screens that you may find yourself moving up a jeans size (sorry for that, we all love good food and a cozy couch). Deep down, you can always hear the call of nature, and those magnificent outdoor sports scenes seem to be right in front of you. Every time you open social media and see those professional-level hiking and kayaking photos, your enthusiasm seems to be suppressed by an invisible force. Don't be afraid, my dear friend, let's abandon those complicated and cumbersome equipment and skills and show you the most suitable outdoor activities for beginners. You don't need any experience or professional skills, just the courage to get up from the sofa and go outdoors to breathe the fresh air, feel the charm of nature, and enjoy the simple and pure fun.

Hiking with a light backpack

When we decide to forgo the arduous and challenging mountain treks and choose a well-maintained and picturesque trail instead, it’s like entering a whole new world. This kind of walk is not aimless, it’s more like a leisurely stroll in your own backyard, with a little bit of unusual coolness, because we know that there are not only green mountains here, but also the mysterious and beautiful hidden deep in the mountains and forests. We can start with a short distance, feel the softness and firmness of the trail under our feet, and listen to the whispers of nature around us. As our physical fitness gradually improves, we can increase the length of the hike appropriately or challenge some slightly more difficult trails. Hiking is not only a physical exercise, but also a baptism of the soul. It gives us the opportunity to explore unknown places, feel the wonders of nature, record the stunning beauty with our camera, and then share these epic moments with friends on social media. All we need is a pair of comfortable shoes and a spirit of adventure to embark on this journey. Temporarily get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse ourselves in the embrace of nature and feel the tranquility and beauty.

Outdoor Yoga

Remember that downward dog pose you practiced in your living room? Find a beautiful, flat place and go out into nature. A green lawn or a quiet backyard are both good choices. Bring your yoga mat, which will become a bridge between you and the earth, bringing you closer to nature. You can breathe in the fresh air, feel the pulse of the earth, and listen to the sounds of nature, which will become your most peaceful background music. Yoga is a low-intensity activity that will not make you tired, but will make you feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. When you pose in downward dog, you will feel like you have turned into a pretzel. This soft and elastic feeling is really wonderful (of course, we are talking about the good side of this experience!). As you breathe, you will feel your body and mind gradually relax, and stress and troubles seem to be released with the rhythm of your breathing.

Fishing

As an ancient and fun outdoor activity, fishing is deeply loved by many enthusiasts. It is not only a simple way to catch fish, but also a way to get in close contact with nature and seek peace of mind. By the quiet lake or stream, the fisherman sits quietly on the shore, holding the fishing rod in hand, and staring at the float with his eyes focused. When the float trembles gently and is then slowly pulled into the water, the sudden surprise and sense of accomplishment make people feel as if they have returned to the most innocent childhood. The process of fishing is full of unknowns and expectations. You never know what kind of fish will be caught in the next second, and this sense of mystery is fascinating. The fun of fishing lies in this process of continuous exploration and discovery. In the busy pace of life, take time to come to nature, breathe fresh air, listen to the birds singing, and feel the breeze. All troubles and pressures will disappear at this moment.
