Trekking is fun especially with a view.

My friends and I concentrating on the trek.😂

Sleeping Dinosaur Island the view from Viewdeck , Badas Mati, Davao Oriental.

Greetings Steemians!!!

This is my first time posting in this community and I would like to share to you one of the ways on how to take care of ourselves. ☺️

Starting to get to the dinosaur ☺️. At the front of it is the Pujada Island

The view while trekking.

We took a pause before going downhill again so we can rest up our knees too.

This was the most difficult part of the trek, there's no grass to hold on to so you should be careful walking. As you can see at the photo, they just sat down and walk like a duck so that would be easy for them.

Fortunately there's available "sari-sari" store in this community. We bought food and more water so we will stay hydrated since the weather is getting hot.

And the trek continues...

After resting for 15 minutes, we decided to get back up and continued walking. We found a little your guide for us.

After 20 minutes, we're finally on the top of the dinosaur's arms.

This is the view from the arms of the dinosaur, it's sooo beautiful.

Selfie with our little tour guide, she's a local from the community we passed by.

We finally went home after the great adventure. We ride a boat going back to the city center and it was a fun-filled experience.

* We had a boat ride after our trek. Going back the city center with a happy heart because another bucketlist checked.*

Health Benefits of Trekking

• Improved Fitness

It is the major heath benefit of trekking is that it helps improve our physical health. It improves our strength, agility, and cardio fitness if we spend multiple hours in trail while ascending hills and climbing. It gives our whole body a workout.

• Reduces Stress

Spending time on the trails or other outdoors activity can cleanse our mind from the worries we had from work and home. It is so relaxing especially you see amazing views and breathe fresh air.

• Social Benefits

While being with the nature you will enjoy it and forget about digital world, you can spend away with your gadgets. You can talk with your friends or buddies while trekking, encouraging and motivate each other. It can help out friendship stronger. And to add, while trekking you can meet other group also who are also on the trail.

• Inner Cleanse

In Trekking we tend to hydrate ourselves. We can't drink coffee or alcohol but more water instead and eat healthy foods. Consuming more water can rejuvenate our skin. As they say "We are what we eat", what we consume it will reflect through our appearance. So inner health should be prioritized too.

The whole activity was tiring. I had a muscle pain but I didn't regret doing it and I definitely be going back yo trekking again since it's good for our health. Spending my holiday with trekking is a fulfilment. I'll start doing it often, it's an investment with a lifetime gains.
