I get 10,000 steps in just by chasing my children around and doing chores, so walking is part of my daily life. Yet, holiday hikes towards a good view (and a pub) aside, I rarely walk for exercise. Strength training, running, and swimming are more my cup of tea.
In getting older, though, I've realised that my mental and physical health could benefit from more restorative exercise and time away from my desk. I'm lucky enough to live in a very green area, and I need to make the most of it.
