I love to exercise as it makes me feel healthier, fitter & just generally better. I don't need to lose weight - but I do want to maintain where I am (48kg at 5 3") & that's obviously easier to do when exercising regularly. I have tried various you tube videos & tutorials on HIIT & the like, but struggle with the motivation to do them regularly enough.
The only thing I really enjoy doing, that I know I can stick to consistently, is walking. I have dogs so kind of essential I walk anyway. I walk at a reasonably fast past (especially when they're off lead) and tend to do between 5-10km per walk, depending on how much time I have. The absolute minimum I do is 30 mins, which is around 3.5km. I try to get out walking 5/6 times a week, DH takes the dogs out each morning anyway.
I don't want to build muscle or shape any specific body parts, so is walking as above really enough to enjoy a moderate level of fitness?
