Add in a couple of squats to get some macro pictures of a forest floor scene and you'll have the perfect natural workout.
The gym on relatively flat land and is across the river and the highway, but being a small town, on our gym walk we go tot he post office, the liquor store, the grocery store, the pharmacy if necessary. Tess does walk at least 5-7 km a day with the border collies. I find after my hip surgery, there is both destructive and constructive exercise. The elliptical at the gym builds up my ACL challenged knee. walking in the bush tends to de-stabilize it. Too much slipping and sliding and really stresses the stabilizers, the adductors and abductors. You have to do both to keep things working.
