Alternative sports for fitness

A sport I really love is orienteering.

As you can tell from my last few blogs, I like to be outdoors. I always tell the members in the Edinburgh outdoor bootcamps, that fit in body equals fit in mind so my exercises have a little thought process.

If you are looking for a hard exercise class with some brain matter involved you need to try orienteering. There are a lot of local clubs that will welcome even the most novice of orienteering person.

The courses are colour coded and you have a choice of what one’s to do. They vary from one’s you could just walk around with your kids or by yourself until you get confident at the map reading to full on running and map reading which is more difficult than you think.

Prices range from £1 to £3 so go ahead and give it ago!

See how you get on and feel free to let me know your times and the distance you ran.
