Green Exercise for a Vital Body

Being outdoors where we can truly enjoy ourselves helps us to appreciate nature. This then leads to a natural desire to protect and care for nature. Exercising outdoors is a great way to start, thereby ‘going green – a little at a time’.

There are many outdoor groups that you could join if you don’t want to go it alone.

How about joining the organisation ‘Run/Walk for Life’? It has a good reputation. You can start by walking with a group in a field. As you build up fitness and confidence you may decide that you would like to run with the more advanced members. Click here for more information  Run Walk for Life
