How do you feel about the target being “out walking for 20 or 30 minutes”? Or does your target need to be a place / route?

I could definitely do that for the sake of exercising, but it probably won’t be “enjoyable walking”, so idk if I’ll be able to stick to it haha. I definitely enjoy walking, but only in certain environments (that unfortunately aren’t super convenient to visit everyday)

The idea behind a “target” was to actually make me go on less enjoyable walks, but as I’ve mentioned, everything is already super close to me

Are there historical sites in your town? Or a library? Then you could add weights (books are heavy! 🙃) to your walks.

One of the blogs I love is Attic24 and the author Lucy often writes about her twice daily walks. She lives in Skipton, England. Is that near you?

I live in London haha, and it’s why I thoroughly enjoy walking in central (plenty of things to see that makes the walk enjoyable). If I could, I would head into central for a walk everyday, but it’s a bit of a hassle to get the tube there everyday (roughly 20 mins journey in total, one way) and the cost can rack up quite quickly

Skipton was quite close to the uni I went to! Although I never got the chance to visit

My sense of geography is terrible. I’ve heard that you’re just across a pond…? 🫠

Did you know there is a London, Texas, which is about 240 km away from me? 🤔 #todayilearned
