Poll Reveals 60% Of Americans Call Walking �Hiking�

A new poll from the Institute for Recreational Exaggeration found that 6 in 10 Americans now refer to ordinary strolls as �hikes� to boost social credibility. Respondents confessed to tagging �#adventure� on Instagram while circling suburban cul-de-sacs. In Phoenix, one couple reported packing trail mix for a walk around Target�s parking lot. Sociologists say the inflation of terms reflects a society desperate for validation in step counts. Experts warn that by 2040, walking to the fridge may be branded �extreme trekking.� -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
