I'm going to start by being totally honest with you: it's only been in the last year that I've considered walking a workout. Previously, I'd (mistakenly - and how wrong I was) chalked it up as not being "challenging" enough for me.
But after struggling with my energy levels, a recurring hip injury and teetering on the brink of burnout a couple of years ago, I swapped my high-intensity regime for an altogether more holistic approach to fitness. Incorporating plenty of low-impact strength, Pilates and low-intensity cardio has suited me down to the ground - and walking has been a huge part of that.
