Body Shoppe staff will get us started at the beginning of each hike with tips and tricks for stretching, increasing distance safely, working within your target heart rate range and more. Northfield naturalist Beth Bazler will share the natural and cultural history of some of her favorite spots - along rivers, atop breezy mountains, maybe a secret swimming hole in the heat of summer. Hikes will increase in length and challenge through the series. Bring lots of water and hearty trail snacks. Most hikes will require some carpooling.
