Are you ever too old to get outside?

Absolutely not! Aging is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be scary. Instead, aging is an invitation to embrace the years ahead with intention. It is an opportunity to set goals for your next chapter of life and seek to find what fills your cup and fuels your adventurous spirit.

In our humble opinion, hiking is the perfect way to do just that!

After all, spending time in nature has all kinds of healing benefits for people of all ages.

• Physical activity helps keep joints healthy and mobile.
• Being outside helps you unplug and be in the present moment.
• Spending time outdoors can help improve cognitive function.
• Taking a walk in nature can lessen stress and anxiety.

And so much more.

Even though we know getting outside is great for all ages, we don’t often see the 50+ community represented in outdoor content – especially women.

That’s why Over 50 Outside was created.

Hear from T Anthony Bland, a 52 Hike Challenge finisher, on how taking 52 hikes helped him connect with his daughter and heal from the tragic loss of his wife. Together, the two hiked to heal and joined a welcoming community that helped them accomplish their goal.
