Completely agree. I don't mind lifting personally, but I'm much rather do a hiking trail than go to a gym! The only downside is initial investment I'd say since you need some sort of gear, but If you research - probably can find a few local outdoor stores like https://gritroutdoors.com/ with open box/sales and save a pretty penny(those folks in particular sometimes do 70% discounts on damaged packaging. Item is brand new but you get it on huge discount just 'cause packaging was damaged )
