Introduction

Staying fit, both physically and mentally, has become a difficult task these days. The overwhelming speed and pace of our lives have made us lower the time spent outdoors doing physical activities, such as hiking and cycling. It's even more drastic for us, the software developers, considering that we are sitting stuck at our desk most of the working and non-working days.

Not that long time ago, I decided to change that. I started working out, eating healthier food, keeping the workout regime...now I'm working out 4 times a week and I feel much better because of that.

So, pick up your hiking sneakers and spend some time outdoors. It's crucial to have activities not related to programming, and besides, being fit brings you health and a positive state of mind, which is extremely important.
