I’ve found walking is the best exercise, as your whole body is moving at once. So I walk for personal fitness and being outdoors, weather this be by myself or with company.
I like challenges and I challenge myself a lot. 
I don’t like to think I can’t do something so I prove to myself I can. I keep a positive and optimistic mind set, which enables me to participate and complete my walks.
I belong to a bush walking club which am one of the youngest. Our leader is 83 years of age and most of the group go on trekking holidays which I would love to do more often. I had the privilege to travel with them and did trek the wilderness in Tasmania a couple of years ago which was an amazing experience.
With getting older I don’t want to end up walking with a frame etc. so walking is the best exercise for me.
I always think if older people than me can do it – then so can I.
I also enjoy nature in the bush and the beautiful scenery.
