It's good for our stress levels.

It's good for our social contact.

It is movement.

But to really get the benefits, you need to be working harder.

So the simplest way to explain that to anyone is that you're huffing and puffing.

So are you walking fast enough or up a hill where it's challenging enough that you're slightly out of breath but can still hold a conversation?

And that's where you really get the aerobic changes, the muscle changes, the bone changes because the body's having to work harder

a little bit harder.

And by doing that, you get the maximum benefit out of it.

But Bo will deliver benefits.

You were mentioning 10,000 steps there.

Like 10,000 steps is a marketing term from the 60s.

It's been around forever.

With the sweet spot from the university studies, tends to be about 7,000.

But the real world answer is the more steps you do, whether it's 2,000, whether it's 20,000, are more steps than you do sitting on the couch.

So it doesn't matter how many you do.

Just keep doing as many as you can.

You know the best bit about that?

The body doesn't care.

It doesn't mind whether you go for two hours of a stroll or five hours on the Camino or five hours over the course of the day or an hour.
