KEEP ACTIVE - 1 Pipe + 1 Pipe = 2 Pipes Traditional Geocache

Geocaching promotes active lifestyles by encouraging individuals, groups, the young and old to get outside and be active.

Hiking is good for your health. But do you know just how good it is?

For adults, regular aerobic exercise such as hiking leads to:

• Improved cardio-respiratory fitness (heart, lungs, blood vessels)

• Improved muscular fitness

• Lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke

• Lower risk of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes

• Lower risk of high cholesterol and triglycerides

• Lower risk of colon and breast cancer, and possibly lung and endometrial cancer

• Increased bone density or a slower loss of density

• Reduced depression and better quality sleep

• Lower risk of early death (If you are active for 7 hours a week, your risk of dying early is 40% lower than someone active for less than 30 minutes a week.)

• Weight control; hiking burns up 370 calories an hour (70 kg person)
