It seems that twenty and thirty-somethings are turning their backs on the gym in favour of keeping fit in the great outdoors. An incredible 72 per cent of 20 to 39-year-olds surveyed this month by the Ramblers' Association (RA) would rather go for a walk than work out in a gym.
And this is against a back-drop of another recent Sport England survey that confirmed walking as the most popular recreational activity with over 8 million of us walking at least once a month.
Pub walkers already know that walking is a great way to meet new friends and an excellent way to keep fit while enjoying fresh air and scenery instead of staring at a dull gym wall. And some of those savings on gym fees can be spent on enjoying some wholesome pub food and real ale as a "reward" for all that exercise. All in moderation of course!
