West Lothian's Outdoor Diary 2007/08

Walking and the countryside is for everyone!
Just by doing 30 mins of moderate activity everyday can bring about great health benefits. To help you accumulate 30mins activity, brisk walking is the perfect activity. So, go out and enjoy the outdoors. Walking is suitable for just about everyone no matter what their age or level of fitness. Walking is also suitable for those recovering from illness! Did you know, regular walking can bring about the same health benefits as more strenuous exercise. And the great thing is?walking is the most simple and natural activity to fit into our busy lives.
This year?s Outdoor Diary includes a range of activities, from short rambles to longer walks. So, as well as learning more about the countryside benefit from the walk as well.
