Hiking is an excellent form of exercise. Just remember to stretch before engaging in order to avoid the simpler injuries.
Make sure you carry enough equipment in a backpack or messenger bag to handle most emergencies. This should include at least a first aid kit, a map and compass, and some sort of signaling device. Other equipment depends on the area and situation. You should also include some water and something to snack on.
Because of ticks and other small parasites, at least long pants should be worn.
For a little added fun, there are some subscription boxes geared for hikers. It's always fun to receive mail, and it gives you an excuse to try out some new things out in the field.
Look into geo-caching. It's like an Easter Egg hunt, and it can be fun to find something out in the woods Just remember to carry something with you that you can trade out.
