Walking Was The Starting Point

Three days after flying home from Brisbane, I took a 2 km stroll with my son, Kian, down to Sutherlands Park.

Jon from Comment News was meeting us there for a photo shoot. He was putting together a piece about the Heart Foundation’s Walk Over October campaign, and I was back in the red Heart Foundation shirt for the photos.

Walking had been the starting point for my own active lifestyle. It was a great, low-impact way to add a bit more movement to the day.

After four months of walking across Australia, I was back in Perth talking about adding a bit more movement to an ordinary day.

Jon took his photos, I took one of him taking a photo, and Kian found a tree to climb.

Move more. Sit less. Walking was still a good place to start.
