For many, the new year brings a renewed commitment to fitness. One of the best ways to kick start your "get fit" resolution in 2021 is taking a hike in the wide open spaces of the great outdoors.    

  In addition to being an excellent whole body workout, hiking can be a boon to your mental health as well. Getting out in nature can give you an emotional boost by providing a break from the stresses of everyday life. in addition, nature is amazing and exploring it can reconnect us with essential feelings of wonder and curiosity. 

  Although, a nice hike does not require any special equipment, a good pair of compact binoculars can always be an ideal companion. The compact models in Alpen's Wings and Magnaview series offer the perfect combination of clarity and durability in sizes that are perfect for grab-and-go adventure. These models are lightweight and fit easily into a backpack so they are always at the ready when you need to map out where the trail leads or get a closer look at what is scurrying nearby. 

  Throughout January, you can grab one of these binoculars for 30 percent off to enhance your next hike and make the most of your time in nature.
